Not exactly the glamorous side of railroading, is it? You can tell that it was on it's last legs when you took it, but it is a VERY fascinating video. It's interesting to imagine these areas and how they were intended to look when the U.S.S.R. was in its prime.

Excellent video Svetlov, that's just exciting when the tram passed into the mud !
Obviously the system had been deliberately allowed to fall in to a state of disrepair; no doubt in favour of bustitution. Love the guy hanging off the back of one. Well done Svetlov for making a record of this passing piece of history.
There are actually two people hanging off the back of the tram, a very atmospheric video; the decay in the houses and the system is palpable and quite fascinating.
