Trolza
Trolza (Russian: ZАО "Троллейбусный завод" (Тролза)), formerly known as the Uritsky factory or simply Uritsky, is a trolleybus manufacturer in Russia, located in Engels, Saratov oblast. In the Soviet era it was known as ZiU (Russian: Завод имени Урицкого, Zavod imeni Uritskogo, plant named after Moisei Uritskiy) or Uritsky factory. The enterprise was founded in Imperial Russia in 1868, but it began producing trolleybuses in 1951.
For many years until at least the early 1990s, ZiU was the world's largest manufacturer of trolleybuses. Around 1996, it was renamed Trolza, short for AO Trolleybusnyi Zavod (Trolleybus Factory).
ZiU/Trolza has built over 65,000 trolleybuses and continues this business now. Historically, the most numerous models of ZiU production were the MTB-82, the ZiU-5, both now discontinued, and the ZiU-9 (latterly known as the ZiU-682). All of them were exported to different countries of the world, including Argentina, Bulgaria, Greece, Mongolia, Hungary, Serbia etc.

Wherever You Are
by: Terry EllisMy love it's been such a long long time
One day I always knew I'd hear from you again
But I'm sorry to find you're having such hard times
But you thought of me in your time of need
So I say,
Build me a road dear, and I will come running
No matter how long or how hard it may be
I have a light from your love dear to guide me
I promise I'll be there whenever you need
Who'd have thought it would ever come to this
One last letter but no one last kiss
As the seasons go by, everyday you're on my mind babe
I long one day to be with you
So I say,
Build me a road dear and I will come running
No matter how long or how hard it may be
I have a light from your love dear to guide me
I promise I'll be there whenever you need
You promised me I promised you
Our love for one another was true
But somewhere there in time, we went on with our lives
No we're all so far apart
Too far to make a start
Too long to make it end
I must see you again
Build me a road dear and I will come running
No matter how long or how hard it may be
(wherever you are)
I have a light from your love dear to guide me
I promise I'll be there whenever you need
