Left to right: RVZ-6M2 385, 407, 405.
On the eve of the 20th of July 2004, trams pulled into the depot as they regularly did. At 4:30 in the morning on 21st of July 2004, prior to the beginning of the workday, the city hall authorized the power to be switched off. These unsuspecting trams, still parked in order they were pulled in after the last day of operation, ready for the next tour of duty, will never roll again.

RVZ-6M2 387.
This is the oldest car on the network at the time of the closure, formerly 358, delivered in 1983, 21 years ago. Ironically, based on the position of 387 at the depot, this was the last car to pull in on the eve of 20th July 2004, effectively making it the last tram to operate the Arkhangelsk Tramway Network.
