 | 1-01. Zheleznoy Divisii Ul. / Minaeva Ul. Tatra T-3 1095. Line 1, Vokzal Ulyanovsk-I-bound. Tatra trams constitute standard Ulyanovsk equipment, many of them are older 2-door versions. The three-city-block-long section of track pictured here is the busiest tramway thoroughfare in the city, served by lines 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 17, 18 at the rate of 1 tram per minute during the rush hour. 1095 is one of the oldest cars, delivered in 1974.

 | 1-02. Zheleznoy Divisii Ul. / Lenina Ul. Tatra T-3 2045. Line 18, Veschevoy Rynok-bound. An actual tram operating the part-time Line 18 is a rare catch. This line serves the giant local suburban flea market, and operates only when the market is opened. 2045 is one of many Tatra T-3 trams delivered 2nd hand from Moscow in the late 1990s.

 | 1-03a. Lenina Ul. / Goncharova Ul. Tatra T-3 2045. Line 2, Severniy Venets-bound. Line 2 is the heaviest line in the city. It is traditionally served with 2-car trains. In 2003 all trains were uncoupled into single units and the headway was (supposedly) reduced. This was a part of the citywide experiment. Line 2, however, was so busy, that single cars did not manage well even at lower headways. Thus, by 2006 trains returned to this line, with somewhat lower headways retained.

 | 1-03b. Lenina Ul. / Goncharova Ul. KTM-8 1211. Line 16, looping counterclockwise. A rare photograph depicting tram serving Line 16. The line existed between 1997 and 2002 and constituted a loop around the city center. It did have the 16-right (counterclockwise) and the 16-left (clockwise) patterns, but no appropriate signage was ever used service. The line was also the exception to the rule of KTM trams being assigned on Line 11 only. (31 Aug 1997, Aare Olander) |
 | 1-04. Lenina Ul. / Sovetskaya Ul. Tatra T-3 1095+1096. Line 4, Park Pobedy-bound. ( 2003, "Ulyanovskelektrotrans") |
 | 1-05. Sovetskaya Ul. near Lenina Pl. Tatra T-3 1112+1113. Line 4, Gaya Pr.-bound. The icon Ulyanovsk shot in the central part of the city near the Venets Hotel. This line is served by tram Lines 2 and 4. The circular Line 16 also operated here, but disappeared by 2006 after a period of on-and-off operation. (07 Jun 2002, YM) |
 | 1-06. Radischeva Ul. north of the city center. Tatra T-3 1222+1223. Line 2, UKSM-bound. The classic Ulyanovsk old architecture reveals a small-town origin of the city. Since Ulyanovsk is a birthplace of Lenin, the city was artificially expanded into a large incoherent metropolis during the late Soviet era. (2003, "Ulyanovskelektrotrans") |
 | 1-07. Radischeva Ul. near Ryleeva Ul. Tatra T-3 1151+1147. Line 2, UKSM-bound. Classic Ulyanovsk views just a few blocks away from the city center. (07 Jun 2002, YM) |
 | 1-08. The Severniy Venets Terminal. Tatra T-3M 2214+2215. Line 2. The Severniy Venets terminal of Line 2 is located right outside of the Depot 1. During the 2002 visit all Tatra T-3M trams were observed coupled into 2-car sets. This was, however, prior to the citywide uncoupling campaign. (07 Jun 2002, YM) |
 | 1-09. Radischeva Ul. / Novgorodskaya Ul., at the Severniy Venets Terminal and Depot 1. Two Tatra T-3 2-car trains, car numbers are indistinguishable due to poor paint job. Line 4, Gaya Pr.-bound on the left; Line 4, Park-Pobedy-bound on the right. Note an odd street traffic arrangement. All automobile traffic is pushed over to the left side of tracks, thus, cars moving in either direction need to yield for passengers exiting stopped trams. Cars then hop to the other side of tracks, which maneuver is executed through the complex intersection with multiple tram movement patterns. Tracks in the background lead to the Depot 1.

 | 1-10. Radischeva Ul. / Timiryazeva Ul., the Simbirskaya tram stop. Tatra T-3 2-car train of indistinguishable number. Line 4, Gaya Pr.-bound. (07 Jun 2002, YM) |
