Description
Volchansk Tram System consists of one line connecting Volchanka with Lesnaya Volchanka. The length of the line is 7,6 kilometers. The line is single-track. Previously existed passing tracks have been dismantled. Tram road between townships passes through taiga and meadows.
Tram tracks need repair, but depot workers carry out track service as much as possible with available material, equipment and means: tracks transposition, replacement of sleepers, smoothing of track rails, mounting of shunts, etc. Derailments happen but they tend to decrease.
Tramway depot is situated in southern district Volchanka and is the southern terminus. The depot territory contains one-storeyed headquarters, a brick box for two tramcars, an area for tramcars parking, and a utility building.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
