Tram terminus of Piazzale Cacciatori delle Alpi

The tram terminus of Piazzale Cacciatori delle Alpi (Hunters of the Alps Square) is in the square for many years, near the Station of Milano Certosa, located about 200 meters far.
Currently the terminal is not used, it is only for service or in case of problems with the tram movement to Roserio, currently trams 12 and 19. In the recent past has been for many years the terminus of the line 33. Several ATM signs say carefully track in operation indicating that the terminal is in operation.

Trams access to terminus with a small S and then a wide curve that cuts the road of the square, while trams leave it with a curve to a tighter radius entering in Viale Carlo Espinasse. A second track of the dead-end service is next to that one of the stop. Large cement vases each with small tree divide the terminus from the street giving a touch of green to the square.

The terminus appears a little abandoned, with three benches battered and not near the bus stop, a bed is the center of the terminal with an old pole that holds the strings of the tramway and a paved section divides the rails.
Billboards rise above the wall that divides it from the space of ITX Cargo Viale Espinasse 163, a fountain of the city of Milan, called little widow, and a location with public phone are located on the corner with Via Angelo Brunetti more or less where the trams enter in terminus.

Behind the terminus the green area of Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo Via Angelo Brunetti 5/11, further on the yellow tenement house in Via Varesina 199 and at the intersection with the end of Viale Espinasse there are pedestrian strips and Trattoria Bar Chen in tenement Viale Espinasse 172, apparently infamous.
