2. May 15 - the birthday of the Moscow Metro. On this day in 1935, the route out of the first composition. They went out of the depot "North" - the first depot of the Moscow metro. Since 77 years now, it serves passengers underground. Reedus correspondent went there to tell our readers about the work of the depot.
A large area on the street Krasnoprudnaya - a whole agglomeration of metro: in addition to the station, there is a factory for repairing escalators, fire department subway depot, 1st police station on the subway, and even some services.

5. Depot "North" serves Sokolnicheskaya line, there is listed 32 staff and 1 stand, says chief engineer Mikhail Borisovich Elgudin. 19 of them spend the night in custody, and 14 - on the line, that is right in tunnels: in circulating sidings at stations "Street Podbelskogo" and "South West", and also on station tracks.

10. However, the main function of the depot - a repair and maintenance trains. During the day nine compounds tested in three volumes TO - TO-1, TS-2 and TS-3. The figure indicates the seriousness of the work: TO-1 - normal inspection, but on the TO-3 takes a whole day - teams are distributed through the cars and produced rolling on the inspection of wheel pairs, open all covers, inspected vehicles, replaced faulty components.
Two PTO - point inspection - are right on the line underground. But there's only inspection and minor repairs.

14 - How often found fault? - I ask the chief engineer.
- Occasionally. But for this and made maintenance and repairs.
- But they are not noticeable line?
- No, all is revealed at the depot. If a fault is detected on the line - this is an emergency.

17. Michael B. shows us lathe wheelsets - This operation is required in the event that during operation of the so-called "tread" grinds unevenly. Here, far away - "reference wheelset." She set up defektostopy used to check wheelsets.

20. But for washing trains looks almost the same as a car - is that a little more. Each formulation cleaned once a week. In addition to water treatment, trains visit another purge chamber - to ditch them remove the cover and all car equipment - motors, motor-compressors - blown dust and oil deposits.
21. At the current train lines obtained through the contact rail, but before the gates of the depot, he finishes. Train you done partly inside, and there on the current collectors are put "fishing rods" - hanging from the top mobile cables with knobs. After that, the composition of calls in custody completely. Of course, for repairs voltage is switched off.
22.
23. The depot works 750 people, including 176 drivers and about 500 people - repairers.
24.
25. Go to the shop lifting repair. There's a 32-ton wagons hoisting lift gauge interchange, traction motors, motor-compressors, as well as make major repairs to disassembly.
26.
27. The main attraction of the dispatch depot - a large display. It - all formulations. Some people - "to ditch", ie the depot, others - on the line. This board - a kind of rarity, the legacy of the Soviet Union: it is not an e-mail, not even light bulbs and not mechanical - each car corresponds to the metal label with a number hanging on the magnet. Seven nameplates - composition. When the train leaves on the line, the controller is suitable to display nameplates and transfers from one magnet to another. Just, you say? But safely!
28.
29. To move the repair crews through the tunnels at night, when the contact is off the rails, used railmotor cars, or as they are called here - "economic units". They work on Zilovskoye gasoline engines. At the depot for them to have their own dressing. A two concrete block on the rail car platform needed in order that it does not skid on the turns and on wet tracks.
30.
31. Before the train leaves on the line, the driver makes a last inspection - check the wheel passes through the cars of the cab several times opening-closing doors throughout the composition.
32.
33. Finally repairers show us another rarity of the Soviet era - laid in concrete away from the rail depot, labeled Stalin's name and the date - 1934
34. Our tour comes to an end. We are kindly requested to leave the depot with the wind - at the next part of that is sent to the line. Of course, we agree! And a few minutes later, we drive up to the ramp - gradually deepens the tunnel through which the formulations fall on the line - in the current deadlock over the station "Komsomolskaya".
35.
36.
37.
38. At the station, the train passengers come - it is unlikely they at least sometimes think about how many people are working every day to ensure that they just take the metro home.
