8-01. The Ul. Krasnoproletarskaya trolleybus Terminal, also known as Nizhnyaya Terrasa (the Lower Terrace).
ZIU-682V 76. Line 4.
The terminal is located on the Left Bank of Volga River. Trolleybuses do not make it to the city center on the Right Bank, even though such plans did exist. The excess of iron in the structure of the connecting bridge is the most common explanation for not building a trolleybus line over it.

ZIU-682V 79. Line 1, Stadion Zarya-bound.
The one-way clockwise loop line in Verkhnyaya Terrasa pictured here is served with Lines 1, 1A, 2A, while other Depot-bound Lines 2, 5, 5A take a short cut via Solnechnaya Ul. The latter ones, however, were suspended by 2006, leaving all services to follow the loop.

8-07. The Stadion Zarya Terminal, at the Depot.
ZIU-682V 102. Line 1, depot pull in.
This trolleybus has just completed the one-way loop and ended up at the depot. The two-way short cut toward the main line via Solnechnaya Ul. begins to viewer's right. The regular service nowadays utilizes the clockwise-direction wire only.
