Abstract
The final part of the article the first part of which was published in our previous issue (Vol. 17, Iss. 5). It provides information about the state of Magnitogorsk electric transport during its formation. The article is structured into sections relating to expansion of the route tram network, state and development of car fleet. The considered time period captures the years of the Great Patriotic War and is limited to the beginning of the «thaw» in the domestic political life of the Soviet state. Through systematization of documentary evidence, the fundamental role of tram traffic in formation of the transport system of Magnitogorsk for the studied time period is determined. This should contribute to development of information support for research on the historical patterns of formation of urban transport systems based in the period of industrialization.
The second part of the article mainly describes the models of trams operated in Magnitogorsk in post-war period since 1945, their fetaures, advantages and disadvantages. This is of the particular interest since the same trams were operated in many other Russian cities as well.
