Moscow Metro's Hidden Twin: Vykhino's Secrets Revealed

Moscow's Vykhino Metro Station: A Journey Through Time Vykhino, a Moscow metro station, holds a fascinating history, recently highlighted in a video by PRO МЕТРО. The video draws parallels between Vykhino and the now-closed Dachnaya station, revealing unexpected similarities in their original design and subsequent modifications. PRO МЕТРО points out that the platforms at Vykhino were extended due to the introduction of longer eight-carriage trains in 1983. "Before 1983," explains the author, "the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line used six-carriage trains, requiring shorter platforms." This detail illustrates the practical evolution of the station's design. The video also showcases historical photos of Dachnaya station, demonstrating a striking resemblance to Vykhino's original structure. This visual comparison adds weight to the author's claims and provides a unique perspective on the architectural history of Moscow's metro system. The video concludes by showing the current Vykhino station, highlighting the contrast between its historical origins and modern upgrades. This visual journey through time underscores the continuous evolution of Moscow's public transport infrastructure.
