The Volgograd Metrotram (Skorostnoy Tramvay, ST) is a light rail system operating in Volgograd , Russia. It consists of 22 stations on one line, paralleling the Volga River from the northern suburbs of Volgograd to its city core for a total length of 17.3 kilometres. Most of the Metrotram line shares a surface-level right of way with a previously constructed railway line for 10.2 kilometres, in a manner similar to that of the south leg of the C-Train system in Calgary , for example; five city center stations, on the other hand, were built underground in two sections (opened in 1984/2011), over a total length of 6.8 kilometres, meeting design standards consistent with existing Russian metro systems.
