Kryukovo railway depot

Kryukovo railway depot is a maintenance facility in the Moscow region that houses multiple service tracks, storage areas, and specialized equipment for trains. The depot handles regular servicing and repairs for passenger trains and locomotives that operate on regional rail routes.

The depot was established in the early 2000s as Moscow region expanded its railway infrastructure following the Soviet collapse. It became part of efforts to modernize and maintain the growing regional rail network.

The depot reflects Russian railway engineering traditions through its organizational structure and maintenance procedures, following established methods from the national rail system.

The depot sits about 50 kilometers northeast of Moscow and functions as an active operational facility with limited public access. Views and observation are best from nearby railway lines or surrounding roads rather than from inside the premises.

The maintenance halls feature temperature-control systems that protect equipment from extreme conditions during harsh Russian winters. This ensures trains can continue operating reliably even in the coldest periods of the year.
