MTV-82 numbered 7, 4 and X. Line 1.
This terminal on the eastern side of the 1804 Km. railroad station of the Trans-Siberian railroad, which later will be known as Maysk, opened 16.04.1954. In 1963 trams reached the same railroad station from the west (today's Mayskiy Vokal Terminal). The viaduct and the connector between the eastern and the western lines were constructed in 1970, and this loop closed. The initial line to Maysk (trackage in the background) closed in the late 1990s, but through trips of Line 1 to AGTsK still passed here. The connector over the viaduct closed in 2002 effectively ending tram operation here.

As many as 10 MTV-82 cars are visible in one shot. The rear of the closest car on the right carries car number 7. The car approaching us is assigned to Line 2, car number is not clearly visible. One could guess that cars crowded for the parade of tramway equipment, as the last car on the right is clearly a snow plough.
