Night scene in Moscow metro Bashny.Net

Moscow metro daily visit a huge number of passengers, but few people know what is going on there at night. With the contact rail voltage is removed, wash stations and tunnels, renovations and maintenance work. In short subway does not fall asleep at night. Belated passengers have time to jump on the subway until 00:59. A minute later he was no longer empty as neither asked for. At two in the morning when most Muscovites already dreaming, in the subway relieve tension with the contact rail. From this moment begins working "day" the whole army of servants Metro: machinists, repairmen, cleaners, industrial controllers. Only about 10 thousand people.





Employees mops and rags will not envy: clean up after six million Muscovites and visitors (that is how much is the daily ridership) - a difficult task. Per day of sand, dirt and dust from the shoes going about 20 tons.



Wash not only old-fashioned way, that is, hands, but also special machines with detergent cleaner.



To train depot equipped with sink like a car.



Inside the cars all washed by hand. And with a special disinfectant solution.



To be sure, periodically disinfected using ultraviolet light. The cars plunge into the inviting blue abyss - even shoot a thriller about serial killers.



While some compounds are washed, the other is sent to the technical inspection. Here, if necessary, cars podremontiruyut.



Meanwhile, life unfolds in many kilometers of tunnels. On the main road out train-Squirtwoman. It moves at a speed of 10.5 kilometers per hour and carefully sprays water fan. Everything should be clean. Dust and dirt - friends of fire, but not human.



At the time of "Moidodir" tunnels Blackouts, quenched every single bulb. To God forbid do not short-circuited.



Simultaneously, the communication is checked and paths. Special machine gauge measurements to the nearest millimeter - if something departs from the norm, then the motion of the train can go off the rails, but this can not be allowed. In addition, rails prozvanivatsya ultrasound for cracks. In general, in the tunnel a lot of things you need to check.



To help the maintenance staff is here this yellow car that can move with the de-energized contact rail.



There are here a crane. Too yellow.



Over the past two years, ministers underground work has increased: for Metro lengthened by 13 km. And according to the plan of the metro, which is approved Sobyanin, length of lines by 2020 will increase by 1, 5 times, the time to open 79 new stations. Accordingly, the state will have to increase the cleaners, well, or enter service robots for simple operation. But it will be easier for all of us. If your girl is living on the edge, in nine cases out of ten you will not have to push a bus - there will be a metro station within walking distance.



By the way, not all the trains at night sleep in a comfortable depot. Some of them go to sleep on the line closer to the end stations to residents of suburbs in the morning did not have to wait until the train gets to them.



Well, like all done now. Clean, safe, reliable, trains ready. Satisfied workers are some sleep in their warm home beds and sleepy subway Muscovites fill refreshed.
