 | 1-01. Serova Ul. / Parkovaya Ul. near the Palace of Culture. MTV-82 car 3. Pochta-bound. One of the first 4-axle trams to run in Karpinsk. According to a long-standing tradition maintained in small towns in the northern Urals (Krasnoturyinsk, Karpinsk and Volchansk) that were blessed with tram networks simple enough not to require route numbering, the route display on cars is usually used for fleet numbers. At the time of this photo trams ran between Pochta and Bolnitsa Nomer 1 only, and the tramway loop around the city did not exist yet. (1950, Karpinsk municipality, from YM collection) |

(1963, from Vasiliy Lykosov collection) |
 | 1-11. Sovetskaya Ul. at Bolnitsa N1. KTM+KTP-1 on the left. Looping counterclockwise. KTM+KTP-1 on the right. Looping clockwise. Two trains meet at the Vodnaya passing point.
