24. Bits and pieces of the abandoned trolleybus installation on Stroiteley Pr. (30 May 2004)
25. The only elements missing from this picture are the actual wire and the trolleybuses themselves. Practically 90% of the line is completed. (30 May 2004)
26. This "modern-looking" wide bridge over the Sheksna River was supposed to take trolleybuses to the valley on the southern side of the river, where the city's massive new developments were built. (30 May 2004)
27. The line was built to connect the newly built apartment blocks with Cherepovets' huge Ironworks. This view shows the line stretching via Oktyabrskiy Pr. on the southern side of Sheksna River, with the city's distinctive industrial skyline in the background. (30 May 2004)
28. The completed portion of the line literally ends with the knot near Shekotinskiy Pr. (30 May 2004)
29. The corridor of the unrealized trolleybus line is heavily served by second-hand western diesel buses. (30 May 2004)
