 | 5-01a. KTM-8M, 'Rossel'. This fleet numberless car was nicknamed 'Rossel' after region's governor who presented the car to the city for tramway's 50th birthday, in 2001.

 | 5-01c. KTM-8M, car 1, 'Rossel'. Even though it was delivered new in 2001, this car suffered a fatal rupture of horizontal base beam in the bogie in 2004. In 2007 the car was back at the same spot where it started in 2001. Sometime in 2004 a number 1 was applied above the windshield, in the route display area. 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. The name 'Rossel', however, proved to be stickier than any fleet number. (08 Feb 2007, YM) |
