Snowploughs at work


The 2000/2001 winter was at last The Russian Winter, long awaited by many people - cold and snowy, especially February. It took much efforts to keep the city transport running. Tram tracks were cleaned from snow by special rail snowploughs (and partly by conventional ploughs on rubber tears).

"Too much snow on tracks. Not good!" The same plough enters Bolshaya Kalitnikovskaya Street.
