Izmaylovo, Transportation depot in Izmaylovo District, Russia.
Izmaylovo is a metro maintenance facility in Moscow that services and repairs trains operating on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line. The depot sits within a large industrial complex on the city's east side and houses specialized workshops where technicians perform daily upkeep and repairs.
The facility opened in 1950 to support Moscow's rapidly growing metro network. Since then it has remained a key maintenance center for keeping the city's expanding transportation system in working order.
The facility has been recognized as a regional cultural heritage site, representing industrial design from mid-20th century Moscow. This status shows how the city values the infrastructure that keeps its transportation network running.
The depot operates continuously along Izmaylovsky Prospekt to keep trains running on their schedules. Since it is an active industrial facility, visitors should expect to see the complex from the perimeter and note that access to work areas is restricted.
The facility houses repair workshops with specialized equipment designed specifically for Moscow's metro trains. This custom-built machinery allows technicians to perform complex maintenance tasks that would be difficult to replicate elsewhere.
