Rolling Stock
The rolling stock consists of two tramcars of model 71-605 (stock numbers #7 and #8), one tramcar 71-608KM (stock number #1), one tramcar 71-402 “SPECTR” (stock number #2) and one tramcar 71-619 (stock number #3). The last one came to the town in January, 2008. SPECTR had come a couple of years before. Thereby Volchansk has completely renewed all its rolling stock and unlike many similar towns in Russia it has enough tramcars to operate its transport system.
Passenger tramcars are equipped with bow collectors, that are suitable for operation on the existing catenary. It is planned to equip tramcars with modified pantographs adapted to work in local conditions.
Also the depot has non-working snow plough “GS-4” (probably, it has no stock number), that has been once plundered by vandals. However, Volchansk workers intend to restore the machine. At present a tractor is used to shovel snow off the track.
The depot disposes an old flatcar that was a tramcar of model KTM-1 many years ago. It is coupled with a passenger tramcar and used to transportation of materials and tools to the trackworks places.
A body of tramcar that is a model MTV-82 is used as warehouse.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“This whole moment is the groin
Of a borborygmic giant who even now
Is rolling over on us in his sleep.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“In the case of our main stock of well-worn predicates, I submit that the judgment of projectibility has derived from the habitual projection, rather than the habitual projection from the judgment of projectibility. The reason why only the right predicates happen so luckily to have become well entrenched is just that the well entrenched predicates have thereby become the right ones.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
