Alright,
Here's City of Kryvyy Righ (Twuisted Horn) in Dnipropetrovska Oblast (not an Oblast Capital)














Most of pics were taken from gorod.dp.ua or Kryvyj Rig City Portals.

[VelesHomais]

Thanks for the pics. I'll also add the following:

The population of a city is a little more than 700,000. It's an industrial city.

It has two lines of underground Trams that resemble subway






And the city main train station:


And one more regular pic


City circus

Though these pics are several years old.

I thought there was Krivorizhska Oblast' !

btw that undeground tram is wicked-never seen anything like it!

[XAPAKTEPHИK]

THANKS Stas! <Vlad adding pics to the collection >

BTW -1) is this the underground tram you mentioned before or is this another one?
2) How come both lines run on the same route? (I mean, if you know)
3) When was it built, etc?
4) Is it ALL underground?
5) Can you throw some links at me? LOL
Cheers!

Vlad, I sent you a PM. Check it.

[VelesHomais]

Elbrus, yes many people think that it's oblast capital. But it's not. I do believe that it is largest non-oblast capital city in Ukraine. And possibly in the whole former union?


Vlad

1.) When? Well, in any case, if I had mentioned it, this is what I meant.
2.) I might be wrong. However, the way I see it, is Kryvyj-Rih is known for being very long yet narrow. That's why it got it's "subway" ( which isn't really a subway ) before even it's regional capital ( Sicheslav / "Dnipropetrovs'k" ). Basically, the whole city is built around a central street, going up and down. So both lines aren't really on the same route, they are just going in the same directions.
3.) Late 80's. There are no plans to expand it, because it serves it's purpose for the city of this size.
4.) No, it's not. Where it's not needed to be underground, it goes like a regular "fast tram" meaning that it is not a REGULAR tram, it's seperated from roads, like Kyivan fast tram, if you've seen it.
5.) I did come across a site about it, but I don't remember it. And I don't have it in my bookmarks.

Andriy - there's no way to reply to your pm. Will msn ya later

PS. Notice the DNDP+DNDZH+NVMSK+VERHNYOdp "Conglomeration"

[Sergei]

Thanks for the pics everyone!

My sister lives in Dniproderzhynsk, because her husband is from there. She doesn't like it at all, she said that it's very dirty and polluted there. It must be quite a change from the fresh air of the Carpathians, to this.

[ahsm]

Here is what Stas meant by "very long but narrow"

[VelesHomais]

Yeah and population of the entire Dnipropetrovs'ka obl is 3.5 million. Which is very dense for it's size.

[XAPAKTEPHИK]

Sergei - yeah DNDZH is kinda polluted - cos there are many steel, smelting, etc. companies there. How's it recently though? I'm asking cos many of those plants have been upgraded etc.
But what I heard from a friend who visited Zaporizhzhia once - that that city is really bad with pollution (at least was in mid 90's) - the sunsets were purple....

Andriy - I believe besides Kryvyy Righ - also Kirovograd is pretty long and narrow.

[VelesHomais]

Your sister should move to Dnipro, it's much better.

And yeah, what else do you expect with a city of such horrible name Dniprodzerzhinsk..

If she could move, she would more back to Lviv. But the reason she's in Dniprodzerzhynsk in the first place is because, as I said, her husband and his whole family lives there. At the moment, there's only my grandma in Lviv.

[ahsm]

Well, if he was a good husband then he would understand that she needs to be as close to her grandma as possible. Not meant to stir anything, but I assume she is old. While the husband has all of his family, including parents(?). In conclusion, they should move back to Lviv for a period of time. And when necessary, back to Dniprodzerzhynsk.

Let's just say he doesn't get along with my grandma. My granda is very loving, but she also has a very strong character. She's very strict, independent, and she wants everyone to follow her rules in her house.

Відверто кажучи очікував НАБАГАТО гірше, чомусь було таке враження що там взагалі цікавої архітектури не існує.

[sprinter:)]
