Designs and scheme of tram routes in Moscow
The type of construction of the Moscow tram tracks is sleeper-gravel and sleeper-sand. In some places, sleepers are completely absent. The type of coating is dominated by sand-concrete tiles. Often found, but less common, are asphalt pavements. A small fraction (8 km each) have block and rocky coverings. The latter was very common in past times, and then it was replaced with other types of coating. At the intersection with roads, rubber panels are used, sometimes - long reinforced concrete slabs or reinforced concrete-rubber slabs. On 25 km of tracks there is no coverage at all.
The total length of tram lines is 418 kilometers. The scheme of Moscow trams consists of two parts separated in space: the main and northwestern. Between them established automobile communication.
Moscow Tram Cars
