Krasnopresnenskoye tram depot in Vagankovo, Architectural landmark in Presnensky District, Moscow, Russia
The Krasnopresnenskoye tram depot features distinctive industrial architecture with brick facades and large entrance gates for tram maintenance and storage operations.
Founded in 1909 near Vagankovo Cemetery, the depot initially served as an evacuation hospital during World War I before resuming tram operations in 1919.
The depot organizes guided tours through the Metrotour project, allowing visitors to explore the Moscow transport heritage and modern tram technologies.
The facility maintains both modern trams like Vityaz and Lvyonok models, as well as historic Tatra vehicles that symbolize Moscow's transportation evolution.
In 2002, the entire depot relocated to the Strogino area due to road construction, yet retained its original Krasnopresnenskoye name following local residents' requests.
