History of the station
At the moment, Rechnoy Vokzal (metro station, Moscow) is the end point of the Zamoskvoretskaya line. Active construction of the next station, Khovrino, is currently underway, which in the future will become a continuation of the branch. The station near the station was repeatedly planned: first in 1938, then in 1947 and 1957. Construction began only in the early 60s and was completed by the end of 1964. Until 1975, the station was the northernmost of all in the Moscow Metro.
The station was repeatedly proposed to be renamed, but each time the undertaking did not find support among the population. Since the 60s, northernpart of the green line (where the Rechnoy Vokzal station is located) is one of the busiest, which is why there is often organized express traffic from the final station to Voykovskaya.
