Hi Friends:
A Russian friend of mine gave me the link below to tramway developments in his home city of St. Petersburg. He is an observer of the transit scene there for many years and he was worried that trams were being removed from his beloved city. His link to, in Russian, show the construction of a completely new line, thus giving hope of new developments. Also, there are great pictures of new tram cars in various settings.
I told Igor that he is much to be proud of in St. Petersburg regarding trams. Least they and trolleybus continue to exist. In my home city of New York, the trolleybuses died in July 1960 and streetcars on October 31,1956 and in 1957. This was a long time ago. A large generation of New Yorkers who are not foreign born or who come from US cities that have streetcars, have no idea what a trolleybus or tram is. Nice videos attached to the site as well.
