Podmoskovnaya- junction railway station of the Riga direction of the Moscow Railway in Moscow, located in the Sokol district.
Station history
The station was built in 1901 as part of the construction of the Vindava Railway (now the Riga direction of the Moscow Railway). By the opening of traffic on the road, a fan-type locomotive depot with a turntable and a water pumping station with a coal warehouse for equipping steam locomotives were built. Trains departed from this station until the opening of the Vindavsky station in September 1901; the first train departed on July 2, 1901.
In 1938, a connecting track was built at the station with the Sokol electric depot under construction, through which the Moscow Metro began to receive cars from the plant.
Before the opening of the Krasny Baltiets platform in 1945, passenger traffic was carried out through the station. Since about the same year, you can get to the Krasny Baltiets platform via a pedestrian bridge passing over the station tracks.
In the 1940s, the station was the largest marshalling station of the Moscow railway junction.
Enterprises and station infrastructure
Infrastructure
The railway tracks run from the station in three directions: from the western neck of the station along Konstantin Tsarev Street on the MK Moscow Railway to the Serebryany Bor station, as well as towards Rzhev and the Rizhsky station (along the Riga direction of the Moscow Railway). The boundaries of the Podmoskovnaya station include the Krasny Baltiets, Leningradskaya and Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo platforms, since the first two are located in close proximity, and on the Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo platform until recently there was a track development related to the Podmoskovnaya station. The track development has more than 30 tracks, not counting the tracks related to the depot.
At the Krasny Baltiets platform on Kosmonavta Volkov Street there are stops for bus No. 780 and trolleybus No. 57. From the station you can exit to Ambulatorny Lane, 2nd Ambulatorny Avenue, 3rd Baltiysky Lane. and st. Cosmonaut Volkov. The nearest metro stations are Sokol and Voikovskaya.
Station enterprises
At the station there is a workshop of the PM-18 locomotive depot named after Ilyich, and until the 2000s there was a locomotive depot PM-16 Podmoskovnaya. The rolling stock is diesel locomotives ChME2 and ChME3. A recovery train is also based at the station. The loading terminal is working.
Historical monuments
The station has preserved a wooden station building (Kosmonavta Volkova St., 10, building 2), as well as a complex of depot buildings: a water tower, a fan-type locomotive depot building with a turntable, an administrative building (depot office) and a staff house, serving the tower. All buildings were built in 1901 in the Art Nouveau style and are one architectural ensemble- the last survivor on the Moscow-Vindavo railway line; all its other stations were partially or completely destroyed during the Great Patriotic War. Before the opening of the Vindavsky (modern Rizhsky) station on September 11, 1901, Podmoskovnaya served as the terminal station of the Moscow-Vindavsky Railway, and its station served as one of the capital's stations in the period from July to September 1901. Since December 2008, the buildings of Podmoskovnaya have been historical and architectural monuments of regional significance and are under state protection. Since 2006, Podmoskovnaya has been a tourist attraction - regular tours of the station and depot are held for everyone. Every Sunday, a locomotive-powered retro train departs from Rizhsky Station to Podmoskovnaya. During the tour, you can see the historical buildings of the station, as well as watch the locomotive turn around on the turntable and fill the locomotive with water.

As part of the construction of the Riga Railway (formerly Vindava Railway), a
Podmoskovnaya station. When traffic opened on the road, a fan-type locomotive depot with a turntable was also built. Trains departed from the station until the opening of the Vindavsky (now Rizhsky) station in September 1901. Before the opening of the Krasny Baltiets platform in 1945, passenger traffic was carried out through the station. In the 1940s, the station was the largest marshalling station of the Moscow railway junction. Now the passenger line runs north of Podmoskovnaya, which is still one of the largest freight hubs in Moscow. The depot is located between the Sokol metro station and the Timiryazevsky forest park. Now this is the only Moscow depot that maintains the infrastructure for preventive maintenance of steam locomotives. The depot serves both local steam locomotives (running daily from Rizhsky Station as part of the excursion program of the Russian Railways Museum) and steam locomotives of the Shcherbinsky Ring. This is where visitors are brought as part of the “Retro Train” excursion, departing from Rizhsky Station.
In 2001, the following sign was erected:
The station has preserved a wooden station building, a complex of depot buildings: a water tower, a fan-type locomotive depot building with a turntable, an administrative building (depot office) and a house for the staff servicing the tower. All buildings were built in 1901 in the Art Nouveau style and are a single architectural ensemble - the last (according to Internet sources) to survive on the Moscow-Vindava Railway line.
First, let's take a walk to the fan. Previously there were 13 parking spaces, but later some of them were turned into premises. Currently there is space for 9 or 10 steam locomotives/locomotives:
All entrances are made of brick, as is the front part of the fan. The main hangar is made of reinforced concrete.
Despite the small apparent size of the fan, it is very spacious inside - the width of the fan is 30 meters, the height is up to 8-9m:
The height of this L-type locomotive is 5 meters!
The hangars also house disassembled and restored steam locomotives:
The gate leaves may have been hanging here for more than 110 years and have seen 5 generations of installers :)
In general, it’s quite cool to walk along such a fan; you don’t even suspect what you’ll see beyond the passage to the next section. Each section has 5 locomotive seats:
And here it’s empty, he’s probably gone to carry passengers :)
We met the work plan for 3 months ahead:
Despite the loyalty of the local fitters, it was still decided not to catch their eye with a camera, so from there we soon retreated to the street. More photos of the entrances to the hangars:
Along the fan's path, the locomotives are distributed by a turntable, which is naturally still in operation:
The wooden booth of the circle manager has still been preserved:
The electrification of the circle, on horseback, is very interesting:
The railway tracks run from the station in three directions - from the western part of the station along Konstantin Tsarev Street on the MK MZD, to the station Serebryany Bor, as well as towards Rzhev and Rizhsky station (in the Rizhsky direction). And the roads leaving the depot are generally creepy:
When leaving, there is another rare thing - a hydraulic column for filling locomotives with water:
On the territory of the depot there is another hangar for 2 locomotive spaces. As I understand it, this is the main workshop where short-term minor repairs, lubrication and inspection of machine parts are carried out. At the time of our visit there were two steam locomotive L early 50s of the 20th century. The height of these colossuses is 4.99 m, and the working weight is as much as 102 tons!!!
This is what the entrance to the second hangar looks like from afar:
There are a couple more rusty locomotives at the entrance:
There are also monuments on the territory of the Moscow region. For example, the everywhere present memorial plaque in memory of those killed during the Second World War:
Old water tower, built in 1901. I think now it is not used for its intended purpose.
The “modern” replacement for steam locomotives is the ChME3 locomotive from 1989:
In general, we accidentally wandered into the depot; there was no such purpose. Just making our way through Timiryazevsky Park, we saw a smoking steam locomotive on the Riga direction between the Krasny Baltiya and Grazhdanskaya platforms and decided to try to go look at the steam locomotives, just like that :)
According to Wikipedia, on November 18, 2008, Moscow Government Decree No. 1070-PP “On the General Scheme for the Development of the Moscow Railway Hub” was adopted. According to this resolution, Podmoskovnaya station will be liquidated and a residential area will be built in its place, which I hope will not happen!
A new, modern Podmoskovnoye depot for train maintenance took place in Moscow. The depot has a permanent exhibition on railway topics, which presents the entire cycle of operation of the station and depot of the last century. More than 10 locomotives are in operation.
The easiest way to get to the museum and production complex of the Podmoskovnaya locomotive depot is from the Dmitrovskaya platform in the Riga direction, which is right next to the Dmitrovskaya metro station, take the train and drive only 2 stations to the Krasny Baltiets platform, crossing the railway tracks and you are there. You can also walk from the Sokol metro station, but it will take 15-20 minutes to walk through the courtyards
For the convenience of visitors, in front of the entrance there is a plan diagram of the museum and production complex of the Podmoskovnaya locomotive depot, so that they know where everything is and where to go :)
And so we enter the territory of the museum complex, entrance is FREE!

The building of the water tower of the Podmoskovnaya locomotive depot, built in 1901
The Podmoskovnaya station and the locomotive depot of the Moscow-Vindavskaya (Rizhskaya) line of the railway were built in 1901 according to the design of architects S.A. Brzhozovsky and Yu.F. Diederiks (creators of the Rizhsky railway station).
Model of the first Russian steam locomotive built in 1833-1834 by father and son - Efim Alekseevich and Miron Efimovich Cherepanov. Manufactured and installed by employees of the Bryansk civil structures distance of the Moscow Railway in 2015.

Since 2014, a large-scale reconstruction of the locomotive depot has been carried out and its original appearance has been returned to its 70th anniversary. Great Victory in May 2015. The reconstruction was led by the chief engineer of the Moscow Railway, Sergei Vyazankin. On July 30, 2015, a museum and production complex was also opened in the restored locomotive depot. The locomotive depot has been recreated in its original form, in which it was conceived in 1901.
Pumping station building
Turntable of the Podmoskovnaya locomotive depot
Over the course of their history, locomotive depots had many options for the layout of shop buildings. Thus, the first locomotive depots built on the St. Petersburg - Moscow line had locomotive sheds that were round in plan.
There was only one path leading inside this building - a tunnel. The locomotive drove onto it and ended up on the turntable. With the help of this circle, the locomotive was turned around and placed on a free stall, where it could be serviced, critical components and parts inspected, and repairs made.
A turntable is a device with which you can turn a locomotive 180° or put it on the desired track in a roundabout depot. Initially, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, turntables were rotated manually using a lever. Currently, turntables are driven by an electric drive.
There are steam locomotives on the tracks in front of the depot for inspection.
Steam locomotive L is named in honor of L.S. Lebedyansky.
Lebedyansky's services to the Soviet locomotive industry were recognized with prizes, awards and honorary titles. He was a holder of the Order of Lenin, a holder of two Orders of the Red Banner of Labor. For the creation of the steam locomotive P (later - L, in honor of Lebedyansky himself - there were two similar cases in the domestic locomotive industry: the passenger L - in honor of Lopushinsky and Shch - in honor of Shchukin.) Lebedyansky became a laureate of the Stalin Prize.
Steam locomotive L was one of the best and most widespread (over 4 thousand locomotives) Soviet steam locomotives, which could be operated on the entire railway network of the Soviet Union
According to available data, 4,199 L series locomotives were built over the years of production.

Since November 1941, at the Podmoskovnaya station, on the basis of the directive of the People's Commissar of Defense (People's Commissar of Defense) of the USSR No. 22ss, dated October 29, 1941, the 23rd separate division of armored trains was formed
We go to the lifting repair shop
Locomotives are repaired and technically inspected there.
On the racks lie huge size wrenches

Kids will LOVE watching the trains move.
Frankly, I myself got stuck near the layout for about 20 minutes :)))
While the train is making a circle, you can pay attention to the details of the layout. For example, a couple kisses on a bench :)

Leaving the museum we see the new Podmoskovnoye railway depot, designed for the maintenance of electric trains that will be used to transport passengers along the Moscow Circle. railway(MKR).
Next to the steam locomotive museum, on the tracks, there is a steam locomotive L-2344
On July 30, 2015, a museum and production complex was also opened in the restored locomotive depot. The locomotive depot has been recreated in its original form, in which it was conceived in 1901. The depot maintains steam locomotives that are used for retro tourist trips. On the basis of the depot buildings that survived destruction during the war, a museum and production complex, which has no analogues in Russia, was created, where the museum exhibition is combined with the repair and operation of operating steam locomotives.
I would like to say that we have created an excellent place for leisure. The Depot is definitely worth a visit, especially with children they will really like it!
