The decision to create a children's railway was made in October 1935 at a meeting of schoolchildren in the Ramensky district. On June 24, 1936, the pioneers began building their own road, and by November 7, 1936, the construction of the first stage of the road was completed. 2.3 km of track (including 1.8 km of the main track), temporary wooden buildings were built at the stations of Put Ilyich (now station Yunost) and Shkolnaya.
On May 2, 1937, train traffic was opened. Steam locomotives VL-1 (Vladimir Lenin) and IS-1 (Joseph Stalin) ply on the road.
The opening of the summer season on June 22, 1941 coincided with the beginning of the Great Patriotic War... In the spring of 1942, young railway workers responded to the call "Let's replace fathers and brothers who went to the front" and took part in the construction and operation of the narrow-gauge railways of the Spetslestranskhoz of the People's Commissariat of Railways in Bronnitsy, Faustovo, and Khobotov. Throughout the war, these branches were used to deliver the timber necessary for the production of sleepers to the front-line railways.
After the end of the Great Patriotic War, young railway workers began to restore the children's railway. On June 14, 1945, the movement was restored, the work was completely completed in the summer of 1947.
Since that time, the length of the main track of the road has been 3.8 km, and the total operational length is 4.962 km. Subsequently, the total operational length was somewhat reduced due to the fact that the turning structures for steam locomotives were dismantled and turned into dead ends.
In 1957, instead of the decommissioned IS-1 steam locomotive, the TU2-078 diesel locomotive and four Polish-built Pafawag all-metal carriages were supplied to the Malaya Moscow Railway. In the same year, a stone depot with two stalls was built at the Pionerskaya station.
In 1963, the road was equipped with an auto-blocking device and worked all year round for five years.
In 1971, during the overhaul of the road, the P43 rails were laid on the road, a route-relay interlocking was installed at the Pionerskaya station, electrical interlocking was installed at the Put Ilyich station, and an automatic blocking system was installed between them.
1972, the era of steam locomotives ended at the Kratovo ChRW. The last of the steam locomotives, the Rp-771, was retired from work, and a TU2-129 diesel locomotive was received instead.
In 1979, a training and laboratory building and a new high platform were built at the Pionerskaya station.
In 1982, the Pafawag cars were replaced by the PV40 all-metal passenger cars of the Demikhovsky plant, which are still in operation.
In the middle of summer 2003, a new building was erected at Yunost station with a light shed for passengers and a room for the station's service personnel.
In 2005, a complete reconstruction of the Moscow children's railway was carried out - the track was replaced, a hangar for cars was built, a new microprocessor-based automatic blocking system was introduced, the rolling stock was completely changed (diesel locomotives were modernized), a sports ground was built. Currently, more than 600 young people are engaged in the children's railway. railway workers from 25 schools in Lyuberetsky, Ramensky, Voskresensky districts and the city of Zhukovsky, as well as children from the "young railroad worker" circles in Moscow.
Children railway more than 70 young railway workers graduate annually, at least 50% of whom enter schools railway transport.
IN summer period a train of 6 cars and two diesel locomotives TU2 runs on the road.
Students from the 5th grade are accepted on the children's railway. Career guidance classes are held on the basis general education schools and the children's railway. The "Young Railroad Worker" clubs work from October to May, practical classes on acquaintance with professions are held from May to August.
An adult ticket costs 70 rubles, and a child ticket costs 30 rubles. Moreover, at the Yunost station a child is considered to be a person aged 3 years, and at Pionerskaya, for some reason, from 2 years old.
Passengers are waiting.
They hooked it up, the team signed a piece of paper. Everything is like the big ones.
The train leaves the station.
There are two stations on the line - "Yunost" (historical name "Put 'Ilyich") and "Pionerskaya" (both terminal), and two intermediate platforms "Shkolnaya" and "Detskaya".
Schoolchildren 11-17 years old from 25 schools from Moscow to Konobeevo are trained at the Kratovo ChRW. Full course of study 5 years. The train season starts at the end of May and ends on the last Sunday in August. In addition, on Malaya Moskovskaya, students of the circle of Young Railwaymen at the Moscow state university ways of communication.
Over the years of its existence, the road was renamed twice: first from Malaya Leninskaya to Malaya Moskovsko-Ryazanskaya, and then to Malaya Moskovskaya (Kratovskaya). The names of the stations also changed. So, the station Put Ilyich in 1991-92 was renamed into Yunost. The Kultbaza station was renamed into Pionerskaya no later than 1951.
Currently, the children's railway line runs the border between the city of Zhukovsky and the village of Kratovo.
The train season starts at the end of May and ends on the last Sunday in August. Since May 27, 2015, the Moscow Children's Railway has been operating 5 days a week: from Tuesday to Saturday (There is no train movement on Tuesday, as the railway is being prepared for the carriage of passengers). The first train leaves from the Pionerskaya station at 10:00; trains run at 1 hour intervals. There are 3 to 4 pairs of trains per day. Sometimes the number of train pairs per day is reduced (for example, due to the air temperature above 29 ° C, due to a strong delay of trains, weather conditions, etc.). Also, the movement can be completely canceled. An air show in Zhukovsky or other events. The decision to cancel the movement is made only by the head of the road.
The Children's platform is designed to receive only two carriages, unlike the rest of the railway stations. As a rule, the carriages into which children from the camp are boarding on this platform are closed for the passage of other passengers.
On this railway were filmed episodes of the film "Leon Garos is looking for a friend" and the documentary "Shift forward" The latter was necessarily shown to groups of tourists who visited the children's road in the late 50s and early 60s.

Family holidays with children should be not only fun, but also educational. The children's railway in Kratovo will be a great place for such a small trip. Here children and their parents will get to know more about the work of railway workers and take a ride on the train, which is run by teenagers, they also serve it.
History of origin
All work was completed in April 1937. The opening took place on May 2 of the same year. The nursery in Kratovo has developed more and more every year. In 1940 the station and additional kilometers of tracks were built.
During the Second World War, the tracks were destroyed. After the war, the pioneers and Komsomol members restored them, and the railway started working in full force.
Small Moscow children's railway to Kratovo: reconstruction
In 1957, repair work was carried out at the Pionerskaya station. This event was timed to coincide with the receipt of a new diesel locomotive with four cars from Poland. 1971 was marked for a complete reconstruction of the tracks. There were technical changes at the stations:
- route-relay centralization ("Pionerskaya");
- electrical centralization ("Ilyich's Way");
- auto-blocking (on the tracks).
In 1979, a building was built at the Pionerskaya station for educational and laboratory work... Here young railway workers could study theory and practice. In 2002, a fire broke out at the Yunost station, and all buildings burned down. In 2003, the buildings were renewed and improved.
In 2005, a complete reconstruction of the small railway was planned and carried out. The central station has been completely restored. The depot was rebuilt using modern materials... Now it can accommodate several diesel locomotives and all carriages. Guided tours and lectures are now held here.
Wooden tracks were replaced with metal ones. A good repair was made inside the cars - the seats are soft and comfortable. In 2013-2014, the office building and stations were repaired.
Features of the railway
The total length of the tracks is 4.962 km. This distance is enough for adults and children to enjoy an interesting ride on an unusual train. The children's railway in Kratovo has two stations:
- "Pioneer".
- "Youth".
These stations have two platforms:
- "School";
- "Children's".
The tracks here are narrow-gauge, and the trains are designed for them. All works are performed by children under the guidance of adult professionals. The platforms and stations have been restored and have a modern look.
What kind of children work on the railroad
The small children's railway to Kratovo is a place where children perform all functions. But these are not ordinary guys from the street. They go through a long study and pass exams. Sometimes the knowledge of young railway workers is deeper than that of adult specialists. This is due to serious preparation over several years.
Only a teenager who passes all the exams perfectly for a certain period of time can become a machinist. But this does not mean that he will take this position for a long time. In case of poor performance in exams once more he is demoted. This selection takes place for all professions.
Studying takes place in the autumn-winter period according to a strict schedule. Professional railway workers take part in the training process. Teenagers who have completed their studies on the Small Road and want to connect their lives with it in the future almost always enter the relevant universities on preferential terms.
Moscow children's railway (Kratovo): duties of adolescents
The guys do all the work here. As on a real railway, children work in different specialties:
- machinists;
- controllers;
- conductors;
- dispatchers;
- mechanics.
Young workers wear uniforms. It is also very similar to the clothes of the Soviet guys, but this is a kind of coincidence. Now the official uniform of the employees of the Russian Railways is made in the same colors. These are strict combinations of white and black tones with the addition of a bright accent - a red tie.
During the journey, the guides tell tourists the history of the railway and its sights. Young visitors can watch the process of hitching cars to a locomotive. You can also visit the depot and sit in the driver's cab.
Along the entire length of the paths there are 4 crossings, children and adults are also on duty on them. They are trained to translate arrows both in manual and automatic modes.
50 teenagers aged 11-16 take part in servicing the flight of one train. These are the guys who are not only on the train, but also at every station, crossings, in the office. The train has 6 cars, and they are almost always full.
How to get there
Located near Kratovo. How to get to Kratovo by public transport? The most in a simple way can be considered a trip by electric trains that run in the Ryazan direction. You need to get off at the Yunost or Pionerskaya station.
By car, you need to move along the Novoryazanskoe highway before turning to Zhukovsky. You need to get to the traffic light and turn towards the town of Ramenskoye. Drive along Nizhegorodskaya street and cross two crossings. After the last one, park in the parking lot, 50 meters from it is the Yunost station.
Both methods take little time and are very convenient. For personal transport, there is a spacious parking lot near the station. You can safely leave your car there while traveling by train.
Infrastructure
There is an excellent entertainment center in the village of Kratovo. Several modern children's playgrounds with bright attractions are located here. There is a cafe and several small shops nearby.
In a pine forest near the station, there is a clean pond with beaches. On the shore and not far from it, you can ride a child on electric cars or horses. The clean pine air will be a great addition to the walk.
Convenient benches are located around the central building, and the whole area is buried in flower beds. Cleanliness and order everywhere. This is how it is - the children's railway to Kratovo. Photos on all resources and in this article testify to this.
In the village shops you can buy the necessary food and drinks. On the way back, you can take a walk in a beautiful and cozy park. You can relax and refresh yourself in a small and quiet cafe.
Working hours
The movement of trains is largely dependent on weather conditions. No work is done on rainy or cold days. The children's railway to Kratovo (2016 was no exception) opens at the usual time - at the end of May.
For many years in a row, the stations operate only during summer holidays... The season usually opens at the end of May and lasts until the end of August (last Sunday). The rest of the time, the guys are actively trained.
In bad weather, train traffic stops to avoid injuries and accidents. Sometimes working days are skipped because of the exams that are held periodically for railway children.
There are three flights per day (weather permitting). The first train leaves at about 10 am. The whole journey takes 20-25 minutes. During this time, you can not only admire the scenery outside the train window, but also learn a lot about the railway in general. What are the reviews of the children's railway to Kratovo?
What do the reviews say?
There are a lot of reviews on the Internet about the rest on the Small Railway. They are all mostly positive. Parents celebrate comfortable soft benches and neat little tables in the carriages.
Babies, according to mothers, really like to watch the process of clutching cars. Children love to sit in a locomotive and look at the driver's control panel. Older children enjoy watching teenagers work at all stages of the journey. They are interested in communicating with their peers and learning from them interesting stories about trains.
This year the Children's Railway in Yekaterinburg will not be closed for the first time for the winter. The narrow gauge trains will run on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. In winter, adults will serve passengers, and schoolchildren will return to the station with the onset of summer.
Children's Railway is a branch of Russian Railways, where children from 12 years old can learn railway professions. To try themselves as a train driver, announcer or station attendant, they during school year attend free classes once a week. There instructors and employees of Russian Railways talk about the basics of work and safety. And in the summer, children come to the Mayakovsky Park, put on their uniforms and work three hours a day in different positions. You can study here for three years, after which you can get a diploma. If a child wants to study further, he is given a targeted referral to a university or technical school.
Employees of the Children's Railway told The Village how the big railway differs from the children's one, what complexes the current fifth-graders have and how working here helps to cope with the problems of adult life.

If you collect all my relatives, you can launch a separate railway: the family has cashiers, conductors, station managers, train dispatchers, and machinists. When I graduated from the railway technical school, they wanted to send me to work at a station in the Sverdlovsk region. But in the HR department, the boss gave me a look — and I looked like a tenth grader — and asked if I was a pioneer leader. He thought that it would be better for me to go to the Children's Railway, and suggested that I go to Mayakovsky Park and see how everything is tripled there.
And I didn't even know that we have some kind of railway in the park. I came there, saw a crowd of children, everyone was running and shouting. I was scared and could not understand whether it was a game, or a serious job, where it was necessary to monitor safety and send trains. For three months I was on duty at the station, and then I became an instructor. I've been working on the railroad for 40 years now and I don't notice how time flies.
Olga Shagina
the instructor
Every year in the fall, I go to schools and recruit children. I tell myself that I am a fisherman and now I need to catch the children with a net. First I go to the head teachers and ask permission to speak before the fifth and sixth grades. If it is possible to interest the teachers, they are allowed to conduct not a five-minute performance, but a whole class hour... I explain to the guys what the Children's Railway is, that this is not an attraction, but a platform of the Russian Railways, where you can learn all the professions. Schools don't always meet halfway. For example, for four years I cannot meet the students of the 104th gymnasium. The head teachers believe that the students have other plans for life, and they only allow me to hang a small notice on the tape.
In autumn, winter and spring we meet with the guys once a week. I explain what tracks there are, what the stations are called, why the road is called narrow-gauge and single-track. In the first year, I teach the professions of announcer, cashier, conductor, switchman, moving officer and lineman. In the second year, we study the work of a wagon inspector, train manager, assistant driver, track foreman. And in the third year, the guys will learn what it means to be a machinist, train dispatcher, station attendant, chief conductor. After three years, the children receive a diploma and those who want are given a referral to a railway university or technical school.
Practice begins in the summer. The guys come to the park, where they are given a uniform, report card and passes. They try to do what they have learned for a year in theory. At this time, I make sure that everything is in order. There were no accidents, the guys can forget their profession, but not safety. Because breaking the rules is taboo. I tell all the guys that the main thing on the railway is discipline and responsibility. This frightens off many.
In schools, I see very complex guys who find it difficult to get out of their closed world. Almost all of them are push-button. They communicate with each other only by messages, and if they do speak, they are thrown around in two or three phrases. The biggest challenge is to approach the passenger and ask for a ticket for verification. Sometimes it seems to me that they are in a package, and my task is to untie the bow so that they get out of their box.
When tragedies happened in my life, work saved me. I am as an artist on stage - I cannot show my weaknesses. Although, no matter how hard you try to be strong, the guys see and feel that you feel bad. My work has always kept me in good shape.
My idol was my father - a military railroad worker. After school, my mother was against me building military career... The railway university became an alternative. I started working as a track fitter, graduated from the university, became a foreman, a foreman ... This is how I rose to the rank of deputy head of the infrastructure department on the Sverdlovsk railway.
Five years ago, I decided to change my whole life. I worked 24 hours a day, devoted myself to the service and was only a source of income in the family. And children need the daily attention of dad and mom. When my eldest daughter came to me and said that she was getting married, I realized that I had missed everything and decided to change jobs.
I was ashamed that the Children's Railway in Yekaterinburg was one of the worst in the country. We only had one small yellow building. I really wanted to improve it, and when I was offered to become the boss here and carry out the reconstruction, I immediately agreed.
We built a new building last year. Now our construction does not stop. In a year, we will open a technopark, where there will be carriages and trains that ran on the narrow-gauge railway in the 19th century. We will bring 70 exhibits, repair them, and they will travel along the road.
Vitaly Marunkevich
road manager
I also work as a mentor - I tell children about the track facilities. I do not consider myself a teacher, because we do not teach, but we help to make a professional choice. The school has vocational guidance, but teachers cannot explain what a railway worker's job is, because they themselves do not know.
When I came, there were 500 people working here, and now there are fifteen hundred. More than half of the young railroad workers are children from poor families. Their parents do not have the opportunity to pay for the hockey or tennis sections. They often do not have the means to simply get to Mayakovsky Park, and they walk from one end of the city to the other on foot. When I found out, I went to the boss and asked him to give us buses. Now all children from distant regions are brought and taken away free of charge. In addition, here children are fed free of charge and given uniforms. I want to show the guys who spend time on the street and who do not have the opportunity to go somewhere in the summer that they are needed.
As a child, I was a young railroad worker. Then he went to a technical school, worked as a mechanic, an assistant driver, a machinist. He drove freight trains and performed various maneuvers. I worked for seven years, and they called me here, they said that there was a place in the state.
I am engaged in theory and practice with children. In winter, I travel to the districts and tell the guys how to operate a train. Sometimes they come to the park to work out on the simulator, which completely copies the control panel of the locomotive. They learn to push buttons, turn levers. They work out all movements to automatism, so as not to be distracted in the summer and follow the road.
In the summer, children come to shift, we take the locomotive, inspect it and go to the control panel. The young driver sits down in a chair, and I stand behind and, if necessary, prompt. Children decide for themselves where to accelerate, when to slow down - I just make sure that everything is according to the rules.
Sergey Melnikov
driver
Thanks to the Children's Railway, I learned how to operate a steam locomotive. This is the one that puffs. I like the steam locomotive because it is a living car that will go as you feed it with coal. At one time I was the only driver in the field with such a license. Of course, there are not many steam locomotives in Russia - mainly in St. Petersburg and Moscow, at the sites where films are shot. We have one steam locomotive here, but children are not allowed to operate it - you can get burned.
Children come here who are interested in trains, who want to try their hand at the profession. I understand them, because I myself was the same. Carried away children are noticeable right away - after the shift they come to help wipe the locomotive, ask questions.
From the outside it may seem that the driver is just standing at the control panel, pressing buttons and trying not to fall asleep. But in fact, this is a creative profession. A train, like a car, can be driven in different ways. There are no identical flights. You follow the locomotive, the traffic on the neighboring tracks, the road, you negotiate, the engine is constantly making noise - this is a very hard work.
My mother brought me to the Children's Railway. I came here in the summer when the practice had already started. I remember the first day very well, because I was late. I ran to the planning meeting, and there were 50 strangers, and I was very scared - I don't know what to do. The instructors helped me, they showed me everything. On the first day, they put me at the announcer's chair. I read the safety text, announced the departure of trains. I really enjoyed being an announcer, and at the end of the summer I became the best announcer among all.
The most difficult thing was to work in 2016, when the road was renewed. The carriages were packed and many passengers were short of seats. They swore at the young railroad workers and had to intercede for the children. To be honest, I miss our cozy little station that used to be.

Dear visitors! The season of summer passenger traffic on the Moscow Children's Railway is closed.
The Moscow Children's Railway is the only children's highway in the metropolitan area. MDJD is popular among local residents and guests: they make tourist trips along it or use it as a way to travel around the village of Kratovo.
Story
The decision to create a children's railway was made in October 1935 at a meeting of schoolchildren in the Ramensky district. After the end of the school year, on June 24, 1936, the pioneers themselves began building the road. Komsomol members of the Ramensky and Ukhtomsky regions helped them in the most difficult areas. They also undertook to overhaul three wooden passenger cars and a steam locomotive, which received the designation VL-1 on the ChRW (Vladimir Lenin). By November 7, 1936, the first stage of the road was completed. 2.3 km of track were laid (including 1.8 km of the main track), temporary wooden buildings were erected at the stations of Put Ilyich (now station Yunost) and Shkolnaya.
The Moscow Children's Railway was inaugurated on May 2, 1937. Steam locomotives VL-1 (Vladimir Lenin) and IS-1 (Joseph Stalin) ply along the road.
The first set of apprentices on Malaya Moskovskaya in Kratovo took place in 1936; in May 1937, young railway workers began their first industrial practice. The educational process did not stop even during the war years.
ChRW during the war
The opening of the summer season on June 22, 1941 coincided with the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. In the spring of 1942, young railway workers responded to the call "Let's replace fathers and brothers who went to the front" and took part in the construction and operation of the narrow-gauge railways of the Spetslestranskhoz of the People's Commissariat of Railways in Bronnitsy, Faustovo, and Khobotov. Throughout the war, these branches were used to deliver the timber necessary for the production of sleepers to the front-line railways.
After the end of the Great Patriotic War, young railway workers began to restore the children's railway. On June 14, 1945, the movement was restored, the work was completely completed in the summer of 1947.
Since that time, the length of the main track of the road has been 3.8 km, and the total operational length is 4.962 km. Subsequently, the total operational length was somewhat reduced due to the fact that the turning structures for steam locomotives were dismantled and turned into dead ends.
In 1957, instead of the decommissioned IS-1 steam locomotive, the TU2-078 diesel locomotive and four all-metal Pafawag cars (Poland) were supplied to the Small Moscow Railway. In 1972, the era of steam locomotives ended at the Kratovo ChRW.
In 1979, a training and laboratory building and a new high platform were built at the Pionerskaya station. In 2003, a new building was erected at Yunost station with a light shed for passengers and a room for the station's service personnel.
Infrastructure and rolling stock
On the route of the children's railway there are two stations - Pionerskaya and Yunost, as well as the Shkolnaya and Children's landing platforms (the latter is used only by prior request to transport children from the children's camp). The Yunost station is adjacent to the Otdykh platform of the Ryazan direction of the Moscow Railway.
In 2005, a complete reconstruction of the Moscow Children's Railway was carried out: the track was replaced, a hangar for carriages was built, a new microprocessor-based automatic blocking system was introduced, the rolling stock was completely changed (diesel locomotives were modernized), and a sports ground was built.
The highway has all types of communications, four guarded crossings, two of them with automatic traffic lights and two unguarded, a locomotive depot.
Vocational guidance
The Moscow Children's Railway is an educational enterprise.
At present, young railroad workers from 25 schools of the Lyuberetskiy, Ramenskiy, Voskresenskiy districts and the city of Zhukovskiy, as well as pupils of the "Young Railwayman" club in Moscow, are engaged in the MJRD. The full course of study lasts 4-5 years.
The educational process is carried out by four instructors, a senior instructor and a driver-instructor headed by the head of the ChRW.
During the training, young railway workers listen to a course of lectures on the construction of railways. Instructors of the children's railway introduce children to job responsibilities on duty on the platform, on the crossing, switch post, controllers and conductors of the car, track fitter.
The children consolidate their theoretical knowledge during the summer train practice. The work here is organized according to the schedule and is divided into four shifts, so every pupil of the Moscow School of Railways will be able to apply the acquired skills and knowledge to the fullest.
Each flight has 25 people. Almost the same number serve the train, being not on the train, but at their workplaces. These are cashiers, conductors, couplers, switchmen, dispatchers, announcers, shift supervisors, moving attendants.
Schoolchildren from the 5th grade are accepted on the children's railway. Career guidance classes are held on the basis of secondary schools and the children's railway. The "Young Railroad Worker" clubs work from October to May, practical classes on acquaintance with professions are held from May to August.
We continue our "locomotive" adventures.
This time, Anya and I visited the train of the Moscow Children's Railway (Small Moscow Railway), which is located in the village. Kratovo, Ramensky district, Moscow region. Now the anniversary 80th season of the ChRW operation is taking place,
Information from the Internet
“The length of the children's railway tracks is 4.960 km, the track width is 750 mm (the width of the ordinary track is 1520 mm).
There are two stations on the route - "Pionerskaya" and "Yunost", as well as a landing platform - "Shkolnaya". Travel time is 15 - 20 minutes. There are all types of communications, four guarded crossings, two of them with automatic traffic signaling and two unguarded, locomotive depot. A train of 6 cars runs on the road. A small controller may come up to passengers on the flight to inquire if you have a ticket. Each flight has 25 people. Almost the same number of people serve the train, being not on the train, but at their workplaces. These are cashiers, auditors, conductors, conductors, switchmen, machinists, dispatchers, announcers ... ".
First, from the station "Kratovo" of the Ryazan direction, we got to the station "Pionerskaya", just at the time when the train arrived at it.
\u2063We saw how the locomotive turns, how the switchman works.
\u2063Later they saw how the locomotive was hitched on the other side of the train. Here's a small diesel locomotive.
\u2063He carries 6 wagons. One of the carriages is given for excursions for groups. Each carriage is dedicated to a certain topic, for example. the history of the Moscow City Railroad, the professions of young railway workers, the Moscow City Railroad during the Second World War. I'll tell you what is inside later.
Children's railway workers - children from 10 years old. They are called young railroad workers. We saw the guides
\u2063Controllers
\u2063 diesel locomotive drivers
signalmen at level crossings
\u2063 platform attendants, couplers (there are already adults), etc.
Train timetable.
\u2063The second station "Yunost" is located near the station. "Rest" of the Ryazan direction.
\u2063We took round-trip tickets.
We enter the carriage
\u2063From “Pionerskaya” we went in the first carriage.
\u2063 There are photographs on the walls of the carriage theme.
From "Yunost" we rode in the 5th carriage, dedicated to the professions of young railroad workers.
\u2063 We drove through the village of Kratovo, it is famous for its summer cottages, children's camps and sanatoriums.
\u2063After returning to Pionerskaya, we looked at the carriage depot. We wanted to see how the train would be taken to the depot (since we got on the last trip), but did not wait.
\u2063We went to the administration building of the Moscow City Railroad.
\u2063There young railway workers study, change clothes, relax ...
We saw an exhibition of drawings for the anniversary of the Moscow Children's Railway.
And a small exhibition of works by students of the circle of railway and landscape layout design (part of the photo).
\u2063There was also a stand dedicated to the history of the Moscow City Railroad. I was struck by the fact that the construction of the road was also carried out by children (with the help of the Komsomol members).
\u2063After that we left this building, once again glanced at the locomotive leaving for the depot (the cars had already been taken away) and left the station.
Anya said that she liked our trip. It was also interesting for me to see the work of the ChRW and travel on a small train.
