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 by 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
Train tracks run from the station to three directions: from the western neck of the station along Konstantin Tsarev Street on the Moscow Railway MK to the Serebryany Bor station, as well as towards Rzhev and Rizhsky Station (along the Riga direction of the Moscow Railway). The boundaries of the Podmoskovnaya station include the Krasny Baltiets, Leningradskaya and Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo platforms, since the first two are located in close proximity, and on the Pokrovskoe-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

Historical monuments
Preserved at the station wooden building station (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, 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 one to survive on the Moscow-Vindava 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.

At the end of July, among other announcements, I came across the arrival of the head of Russian Railways for the opening of a museum and industrial complex based on the Podmoskovnaya depot. Unfortunately, accreditation was already closed, so I went there in my free time from work with a child who really loves trains.
So, let's talk about the main thing right away - DO NOT COME here on weekdays. The museum is open only on weekends from 10 to 16. Since the museum does not even have its own website, you can only find out about it from this post, or from a piece of paper on the closed gate.
The station and its locomotive depot were built in 1901. A fan-type locomotive depot with a turntable and a water pumping station were also built there. 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.

At the entrance I was greeted by a polite security guard. He didn’t take any money for the tickets, which surprised me, but then it became clear why. He took me to the station building. In fact, the station building is located in a different location, but it was decided to make a museum in this utility room so that all the objects were in one place.
There is a waiting room, a ticket office...
... luggage compartment
There is also a buffet and a mock-up of an omnibus where you can sit, but that’s basically all. But it’s clear why they didn’t take money for entry. In the near future, a cafe will open in a separate building and excursions to the depot itself will begin. In the meantime, you can look at it from the outside
If you're lucky, you'll find a working steam locomotive nearby.
Also, at the end of July, the most modern multi-unit depot in Russia, Podmoskovnaya, was opened at the station, where passenger electric trains that will run along the Small Ring of the Moscow Railway, as well as Lastochka and Sapsan trains, are serviced. You can walk from the museum to the depot; no one is rushing you. Through the glass I had a chance to admire the half-disassembled Sapsan

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. Supervised the reconstruction Chief Engineer MZD Sergey 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, in late XIX and the beginning of the 20th century turntables 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.

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!
