| 5-01. Popova Ul. / Frunze Ul. The Depot is thought
to be the most basic facility of this type anywhere in the former
Soviet Union. This single photograph depicts the entire facility.
Opened in 1954, it occupies the corner of the busiest intersection of
the city. A single shed containing the repair shop can accommodate one
car only. There is one additional administrative building. Half of the
management is housed in the basement of the apartment building near by.

| 5-02. Spektr 71-402 car 5. On the day when this
photo was taken, three out of four new Spektr 71-402 cars were found at
the depot. Due to heavy reliance on electronics, the maintenance of
these cars proved to be troublesome. This is one of two first trams of
this type delivered to the city back in 2002. (07 Feb 2007,

of the initial fleet of 2-axle cars that the system opened with in

the back. This car is officially off the books, but still
moveable. (07 Feb 2007, YM) |
