A Visual Guide to Moscow Tramways | << | >> |
This old district of Moscow is named after the village that once was here - Sushchevo, and there are streets with similar names here. A tram line along Novosushchevskaya and Tikhvinskaya Streets was constructed in 1930's - it replaced a closed tramline along Novoslobodskaya Street. In 1933 the line was extended to great steel and heavy machinery factories in Novotikhvinskaya (now Dvintsev) Street. A short stretch of this not so long line from Minaevskiy Pereulok up to the Ulitsa Dvintsev loop was closed on 1 November 2002. A few sections of abandoned tracks could still be seen for a while but now all traces of that section are gone.
