overclocked Posted August 21, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2013 As promised, the second part of my 3 piece post. St. Petersburg Ploschad Muzhestva - First deep single vault station built in Russia. Admiralteyskaya - Deepest metro station in Russia Avtovo - Perhaps the most decorated station I've seen so far. Narvskaya Obvodniy Kanal Main Hall Mezhdunarodnaya Proletarskaya - there are only two of those train sets in the whole system. Sadovaya Ploschad Aleksandra Nevskogo 2 Udel'naya Nightmare for a railfan, fortunately there are few of those stations Oldest rolling stock E(m) series, some even have wooden interior components Newer car I found this upon visit to the subway museum, note that R68 is named as R49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overclocked Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted August 22, 2013 Moscow Lucky early catch of vintage set, it makes a round trip on the line upon the openning at 5:30 am. Komsomol'skaya Main Hall Kievskaya If you look carefully it may seem that the guy is talking over the cellphone, holding a PDA and staring at the laptop. Bul'var Dmitriya Donskogo Annino Pol'yanka Petrovsko Razumovskaya Kashirskaya Kakhovskaya Inside newest car Their doors slide out Videos coming later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tram man Posted August 22, 2013 Share #11 Posted August 22, 2013 I love the Russian metros! A real change from the everyday stations i see here. Great shots! Im not trying to, but it's hard to find one i don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted August 22, 2013 Share #12 Posted August 22, 2013 The Moscow subway is world famous for the elegance emphasized in the architecture, also the excellent performance of the system, on top of that, one of the busiest subways in the world. One to two minute headways? That's something else. The Moscow metro ranks at the third busiest subway in the world next to Seoul then Tokyo. MTA Subways ranks 7th. Moscow takes pride in its subway system and the top notch upkeep of the infrastructure to keep it running and its clearly apparent by overclock's pics. Excellent excellent excellent! +1 for the vids. +1 for the added pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent excellent excellent! +1 for the vids. +1 for the added pics Believe it or not, until upgrades to signalling system they ran with fixed blocks, just like here, while maintaining the same TPH. Their solution is proper terminal procedures in which train is "fumigated" and relays after the station and that they do not have bottlenecks such as river crossings or service merging. Relays are similar to the ones at 179th and 71st local, but take less time. I've been in St. Petersburg for more than a week and didn't encounter a service change, those are very rare. According to the museum staff in St. Petersburg, stations are built to last 500 years, now that's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted August 26, 2013 Share #14 Posted August 26, 2013 Those stations are amazing! They're really beautiful. My jaw dropped when seeing those photos... Superb Pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted August 26, 2013 Share #15 Posted August 26, 2013 I love these photos! Very nice indeed - when I first saw photos of Moscow subway stations I wasn't too impressed, for some reason - maybe it had to do with the photo quality - but I retract that sentiment now. My favorite photo is that of Kievskaya station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
