The days of glory for Krasnopresnenskoye depot have passed. Three months after closure, tracks began to disappear. This report was prepared by Alexander Zabreiko who provided his photos and comments for this page.

All that remains from a connecting line to Vagankovo. Note that overhead is still in place while tracks were lifted.

More partly dismantled switches. That lonely works car #0321 is the last representative of rail trnsport here, but it could not move itself from its place for many years.

Once upon a time this was the depot façade, then a backyard for decades. Now the gates are closed, and no sign of life can be seen.

Open vehicle storage. Heavily used tracks still have not got rusted, but again some rails have gone.

This stub track was abandoned long ago, and I could not figure out its purpose. And other tracks in the right have been abandoned together with the depot.
