РВЗ-6/RVZ-6
RVZ-6 is a Soviet single-sided motor four-axle high-floor tram car manufactured by the Riga Carriage Works.
The first prototype of the RVZ-6 car was built at the RVZ in 1960, in the fall of the same year, mass production of these trams began. It lasted until December 1987 inclusive; the last finished cars were shipped from the RVZ warehouse in early 1988. RVZ-6 trams operated in many cities of the Soviet Union, but, according to the TransPhoto website, at the beginning of 2021 they continued to operate on regular routes only in Osinniki and Khabarovsk, and for 2022 Khabarovsk remained the only operating city on regular routes.
RVZ-6 worked in a large number of cities in the USSR, including Moscow, Minsk, Daugavpils, Baku, Yerevan, Tbilisi, Tashkent, Gorky, Kazan, Kiev, Krasnoyarsk, Vladivostok, Arkhangelsk, Ufa, Lipetsk and many others. However, in each of these cities, the fate of the RVZ-6 turned out to be different. So, for example, Moscow quite quickly (back in the mid-1960s) abandoned the RVZ-6 in favor of Czech cars and transferred all its RVZ-6s to Tashkent. In most other tram facilities of the USSR, RVZ-6 cars are firmly rooted, in a number of large cities of the country they have become the only type of rolling stock, as, for example, in Kazan after the resignation of MTV-82 from working with passengers. In cities where the rolling stock was diverse, as a rule, there was a tram depot specializing in RVZ-6. Such a situation has developed in Gorky, where since 1986 depot No. 1 has worked exclusively with Czech Tatras T3, depot No. 3 has worked exclusively with domestic KTM-5s, and depot No. 2 has worked with both T3 and a very significant fleet of RVZ- 6 different modifications. The most tragic fate of the RVZ-6 in Irkutsk, where RVZ-6 and RVZ-6M were operated until 1987. In 1987, a batch of new RVZ-6M2 arrived, which, after only three years of operation, were written off in 1990 for no apparent reason. The reason for the write-off is unknown, some cars were converted into garages.
As a rule, RVZ-6 were operated until they were completely worn out. Late production cars wore out faster than early ones; but since RVZ continued to produce spare parts, repairs were not particularly difficult. In the now closed tram facility of Arkhangelsk, employees successfully mastered the restoration of the RVZ-6 frame after fractures, not wanting to part with these cars even after such a serious breakdown.
