Moscow Tramways || Bogorodskoye Shosse and Bogatyrskiy Most (original) (raw)

Let us continue our journey along the old tramway line from Sokolniki to Bogorodskoye. The next part of the line is along Bogorodskoye Shosse, close to the walls of Krasniy Bogatyr (The Red Hero) factory. Tramway tracks here remain exactly in the same place where they were originally installed in 1880s; of course, the rails and sleepers have been replaced many times since.

	Tracks run along the centre of Bogorodskoye Shosse, following a slight grade towards a valley of Yauza river. June 23, 2000.
	A crossing of Bogorodskoye Shosse and Rostokinskiy Proyezd. Here the line branches: one branch along Rostokinskiy Proyezd leads to Prospekt Mira, another (to the right) takes us to Bogorodskoye. April 28, 2001.
	Now - a bridge across Yauza river, Bogatyrskiy Most. The river can hardly be guessed by a cast-iron bridge parapet in the left, while the right part of the bridge resembles just an ordinary road - the river was tubed here long ago. July 29, 2000.
	Having crossed the bridge, tramway tracks make a right turn and cross a railway track. Then the road climbs a rather steep grade and comes to the district that once upon a time was Bogorodskoye village, and today is a Moscow district with the same name. July 29, 2000.
