A tram came to Izmailovo district to the east of Moscow in 1925. A decade later this line was extended to a new settlement
Izmailovo, which soon became a part of Moscow. The tramline crosses a great forest, which remains almost virgin (at least
in the central parts) until today.

A vista named "2nd Street of Izmailovo Zoo". Indeed, there was a Tzar's Zoo here in XVII century.

An excellent view of the same place in winter. Just look at those hoar-frosted branches!

Golden autumn in Izmailovo Forest. We in Moscow had a very warm and sunny autumn in 2000.

A crossroad of Izmailovskiy Prospekt and Narodniy Prospekt. To the left one can see tracks to Izmailovskiy Park
tram terminus.

Izmailovskiy Park tram terminus is a simple single-track loop and a short stub track with a bumper - there it looms
in the left. In the distance a Metro station and a great hotel are located.

The tramline runs along a silent alley which was once planned to become a vast road - Izmailovskiy Prospekt. That
plan was not fulfilled, and today we can look at beautiful forest landscapes with trams as the only transport here.
