Railway Circle of Rixensart: The Moscow Metro, a local rail network in Russia

RIXENSART RAILWAY CLUB: THE MOSCOW METRO, A LOCAL RAIL NETWORK IN RUSSIA Par Yves Jasselette Vendredi November 13, 2026 at 8:00 PM Ferme de Froidmont Admission: 5 euros - no reservation I told you about my trip in May 2019 on the Trans-Siberian Railway until my arrival in Moscow. I then stayed in this city to visit it. A tourist visit of course, the city is splendid and far removed from our dreary images. A visit entirely organized, as is always the case for me, by means of public transport systems. In Moscow, it is essentially the metro. I will therefore offer you views of the various metro stations sought out or encountered by chance during my travels in the city center and suburbs. With its lines totaling nearly 500 km and its 250 stations, the system is gigantic and I only discovered a tiny part of it, but enough to get an idea of it. We will walk around the Moscow metro by exiting the stations, particularly those serving the major train stations, in order to understand their rationale and current utility. I will thus examine the genesis of the network and its development up to the present day. With the support of a 2019 map, showing its lines according to their color and rolling stock, of sometimes very different generations.
