The tram park in Tver Bashny.Net

We organized a photoshoot in the tram depot №1. First, a little historical background and further comments on the photos.

Tver tram - one of the types of urban passenger transport in Tver. He began his work August 28, 1901.
Tver tram operated by municipal unitary enterprise "urban electric", is served by two tram fleet, as of January 2010, there were 7 routes and connects all four districts of the city.

All tram lines were originally a single-track, had patrols. Track width is 1000 mm. Tram depot was built on the banks of the River Tmaka, near the present street Sophia Perovskoy (the former site of the depot is a building of "Tverenergo"). All the cars were brought from Belgium.

After the October Revolution of 1917 the tram was nationalized. From November 1920 to April 1922 the motion was not carried out.

Do not interrupt the comments I finish write.





According to information from Filippov, in May 1930, began full-scale operation to restructure the tram network to broad gauge (1524 mm). The old narrow-gauge cars in the amount of 7 units were transferred to Krasnodar, 13 more cars, working since 1901, for some time remained in the city. November 7, 1930 went into service Broad Gauge line railway station - "Proletarka." Soon the tram line crossed the Volga River. As part of the Trans-Volga city first opened the site up to the gates of Leningrad, and then - to the Carriage Works.

April 1, 1933 the wooden building the tram depot is completely burned. The new depot, it was decided to build in a place near the present area of ​​Kaposvar, about halfway from the train station to the city center. Depot, now known as the "depot №1», came into operation in 1934.

According to information from Filippov, in 1932 was opened single track freight rail bridge across the Volga from bridge in Zatvereche Starotveretsky, to a warehouse near the Savvatevskogo Peat Fire area. Warehouse Fire near the square was connected to the narrow-gauge railway with torfomassivom located outside the city. Peat exported to torfosklad narrow-gauge railway from torfosklada delivered cargo trams to the city power plant. Produced transportation and other goods on various routes.

Unification of the tram tracks to the main railways significantly helped the city during the Great Patriotic War. On the tram line in the hopper car trunk railways transported peat, which at that time was the main type of fuel. We used the electric tram.

Up until the early 1990s tram network Kalinin (Tver) is actively developing. Unlike many other cities in Kalinin had no cases of liquidation of the tram lines, except for a small area on the street Uritskogo (now Trёhsvyatskaya) in the late 1970s. However, as a replacement for the line on the street Uritskogo line was opened for a new street parallel to it - Tverskaya Avenue. From transport routes from the street Uritskogo on Tverskaya Avenue tram network has won, not lost: no longer need to pass two tight curves when driving in the direction of north - south (Riverport - Kaposvár area).

Kalinin tram in 1970-1980-ies was considered exemplary. Tram lines were in most parts of the city, the tram was the main mode of transport (subject to availability, and trolley bus).

The highest development of the tram network reached in 1990 - has been opened on the final section of the station "Boulevard Tsanov" ("Fish Factory") to the Southern neighborhood.

After 1991, in spite of the changes occurred in the country, managed to find a way to open a new tram route (№18, «DSK" - "The Ring"). It has existed for several years. 18th route number was the highest in the history of Tver.

Inside we see trams models T6B5, KTM-8



The building of the first pictures was built under Stalin and when something on the building hung a portrait of him. Remarkably roof in my opinion is also a concern. Because it is made of wood, it has never seriously been repaired, but nevertheless does not flow so much as a new building.

It is interesting to me after only one "Night Watch" seems that the car is now blows up and fly away? )



Perhaps no comment ...



Monsters snow removal. In winter every night come out of the depot 2 cleaner and completely clearing all the way to trams. It turns out in addition to clearing the snow they bring down the crust of ice from roads. Those that work in the photo on the engines of the trolley and after prolonged use may overheat.
