St.Petersburg - LM49 3691 +LP49 3990 : Trinity Cathedral, 27-04-2003

De Drievuldigheidskathedraal (Russisch: Троицкий собор, Troitski sobor) is een Russisch-orthodoxe kathedraal en is een van de markantste gebouwen van Sint-Petersburg, tussen 1828 en 1835 in laat-classicistische stijl gebouwd door de architect Vasili Stasov (bron : Wikipedia). Het was ook de perfecte locatie om het museumtramstel LM49 3691 + LP49 3990 vast te leggen. De motorwagens van dit type kregen in de volksmond de bijnaam de 'Olifant'. Een verdere beschrijving van dit tramstel is te vinden bij de foto van het front van deze tram welke is aangehecht. In 2006 is bij een brand de grote koepel van deze kathedraal geheel verwoest, maar wederopgebouwd in 2010.

The Trinity Cathedral (Russian: Троицкий собор, Troitsky sobor; Russian: Троице-Измайловский соборTroitse-Izmailovsky sobor), sometimes called the Troitsky Cathedral, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, is a late example of the Empire style, built between 1828 and 1835 to a design by Vasily Stasov (source : Wikipedia). It was also a perfect location to capture the museum-tramset LM49 3691 + LP49 3990. The motorcars of this model were nicknamed the 'Elephant'. A picture of the front of this tramcar is attached where also a further description of the tramset can be found. In 2006 the central dome of this cathedral was destroyed by fire, but thereafter fully restored in 2010.
