KTM-5M3 T-154 awaits departure via Line 3.

9-02. The Mayskiy Vokzal loop.
The line to AGTsK (formerly known as Tsementniy Zavod) opened in two sections - in 1961 and 1967. From the time of its initial opening, in 1961, the line started at the tram terminal on the eastern side of the Maysk Station. The connecting line (in this photo) between the western and the eastern tram networks of Maysk was opened in 1970. The latest version of the line to AGTsK operated from the western Mayskiy Vokzal Terminal via this connector. The whole line closed in 2002. In this post-closure photo tracks are still in place.

The line to AGTsK curves to the left. When built in 1961, the AGTsK line was connected to Z-d Polimerov. In 1970 it was linked to the western Maysk network via Stepana Razina Ul. The whole line closed in 2002.
