Krasnopresnenskoye tram depot in Vagankovo, Architectural landmark in Presnensky District, Moscow, Russia
Krasnopresnenskoye tram depot is a facility for maintaining and storing streetcars in the Presnensky District. It contains a mix of modern trams and older vehicles from different periods of the city's transport history.
The depot was founded in 1909 near Vagankovo Cemetery and temporarily served as an evacuation hospital during World War I. After 1919 it resumed operations as a tram facility.
The depot organizes guided tours through the Metrotour project, allowing visitors to explore the Moscow transport heritage and modern tram technologies.
The facility opens to visitors through organized tours arranged in advance. It is best to plan your visit ahead and contact them about current availability.
The entire facility relocated to the Strogino area in 2002 due to road construction, but kept its original name at local residents' request. This move preserved the depot's historical identity despite its physical relocation.
