Kolomna castle

You can wonder why here the picture of Kolomna -small town about 70 km from Moscow . You can see part of walls this former big castle . Kolomna s Kremlin was one from biggest castles in Europe with about 2 km walls built in 15-16 cent . In 1930 more 1,5 km walls of this fine castle was demolished by communists for using in Moscow metro as materials . This is one sample from dozens crimes against Russian history,when marble,granite,breaks,bronze from old arhitectural monuments ( esp from Moscow s churches and cathedrals ) demolished by communist ,was using for decoration of metro station in this time .

Moscow Subway / Metro

Does anyone have pics of the Moscow Metro (i.e. stations, rolling stock, etc)? I couldn't find a specific thread in here, other than the "Metro Stations u/c" one.

Thanks!

@iampuking
Better to use http://metrowalks.ru/moscow.
All shots on Metro.ru are bad in quality as was made long time ago. But there is a new version of this site is currently under construction that could be opened somewhere in 2008 i hope.

Old trains and new expensive stations sure do create a contrast!

They look like they were built in the 30s, but they were built in the 70s as far as I know!

Cars of Ezh and Em series were built in 1969-1980. Currently they are being replaced with 81-740/81-741 series.

Interesting videos. At stations, why is the current rail located on the platform side, not on the other side like most other metros?

See here. The current rail is on the opposite side to the platform, so that if one were to fall, they would be as far from it as possible, whereas in Moscow it is right below the platform edge...

Here third rail is always under the platform on island type platforms. Af far as I know this is because electric stuff is located on opposite left side to communication stuff (traffic lights, phone etc) on right side - there are only few exclusions where sides are flipped. On stations the third rail is always covered, still it's not safe to step on it - 825v won't kill, but could hurt very well. To avoid of contact with train there is a pit between two main rails. Train won't leave the station until you will be evacuated properly.
