Trams in Volchansk

The Tram in Volchansk (Russian: Волчанский трамвай) is the primary transportation mode connecting the northern and southern regions of Sverdlovsk in Russia,[4] specifically, the southern town of Volchansk and northern town of Lesnaya Volchanka.

[9] It was dismantled due to the transfer of a large walking excavator from Karpinsk to Volchansk along the road between these two towns.

[1] Passenger tramcars are equipped with bow-type current collectors, which are suitable for operation on the existing catenary.

Although it is not verifiable through the Guinness Book of World Records, local lore claims Volchansk is the smallest city in the world to have its own independent, stand-alone tram system although there are also other opinions stating that Woltersdorf or Bad Schandau[14] are the smallest cities to have its own system.

Volchansk citizens have applied to the Russian Records Book in order to have an official confirmation of their town as being the smallest in Russia with its own tram service.
