This line connects Leningradskiy Prospekt with large districts: Tushino, Strogino, Shchukino in the north-west of Moscow.
The first tramline here (a single-track line to Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo village in Moscow suburbs - now deep inside Moscow
borders) was constructed in 1922.

A two-track terminus at a junction of Alabyana Street with Leningradskiy Prospekt. This terminus was opened on August
10, 1979 as a replacement for another terminus in Marina Raskova Square, closer to the city centre.

A square at the junction of Leningradskoye Shosse and Volokolamskoye Shosse, with a track branching to the right
that leads to the terminus. Note the red placard proclaiming the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union; no such 'advertisements' can be found today in the streets of Moscow, of course!

Ulitsa Panfilova stop is the last one on this span of the line. Further tram tracks diverge from
the main road and have their own way; one tram branch (to Tushino district) returns to Volokolamskoye Shosse a few
stops before crossing the Moskva-Volga canal, while the other line leads to huge Strogino residential zone.

The tracks climb up approaching an overpass over the Moscow Ring Railway. This line crosses Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo
forest en route to Strogino and Tushino; and the tracks to the left lead to Konstantina Tsareva Street.
