The first tram in Novosibirsk, Russia

In June 1933, the construction of the first line began in the normal Russian railway 5 ft gauge, which opened on the morning of November 26, 1934.

The maximum length of the tram tracks was reached in 1987 at 191.4 km. There has been no tram connection across the Ob river since 1992, when tram tracks on the Kommunalny Bridge were dismantled (there was the same situation in the period 1940-1955 before the opening of the Kommunalny Bridge).
