The Most Unusual Metro In The World
Once we had a story about some personal railway, no another Russian hero Leonid Murlyanchik has been building his metro alone since 1984. All materials are bought for his retired fee. Construction is not over yet.
By the way Leonid has all necessary documents and permits for this metro.
An entry to the station. Here the ceiling is high and the walls are plastered.
Homemade concrete mixer.
Apart from the transport function Leonid is going to plumb the metro and to make fireplugs.
When neighbors want to have metro too, through such niches in the walls the tunnel can be prolonged to them.
The tunnel carries the weight of 60-tons’ truck going above.
Backwall.
Soon here will be going full-automated cars, carrying 3-4 passengers.
The tunnel deepening for 1 meter takes one day. Three days more - for concrete casting of the walls and the arch.
It’s hard to believe that all this has been made by one person only!
A way to the main entry goes along the parallel tunnel. Everything has been made in accord with safety measures.
And here is Leonid himself - a person who never gives up!

First to say this is a repeat story.
I had a deja vu
Dude that’s too weird it looks similiar to a game i played once called submachine 2
Reminds me more of like some caves in The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.
“Everything has been made in accord with safety measures.”
Really? You are a re-harvester, re-poster, and a sham of the first order, ER!!! LOLZ!!!
Déjà vu implies a flaw in the matrix
Metro 2033
Leonid mole man.
Walk through the tunnel and activate the turbine on the island of Riven.
This guy is a monster he deserves a state prize for determination, perseverance, and strenght. btw first time I see this post
Incredible! Just gotta love this guy!
Some day, a future civilization will dig up the ruins of this tunnel network, which will remain mostly intact because of the significant amounts of stone incorporated into its construction and the fact it’s neither a major terrorist target nor on the cross-hairs of nuclear missiles ready to deploy at the press of a big red button. Just imagine all the stories the future historians come up with to describe its past significance in society, but only we at the present know it is all the work of one man!
Lenya a vcetaki zachem ?
kut met peren
Fallout 4 ????
Leonid… You are a HERO!
I am really impressed by your fantastic work. RESPECT!
the english in this article is terrible.
Take that, Damanhur!
really what is the purpose of that all?
It looks like just a tunnel, much too small for a train. Why do you keep calling it a “metro”?
Wait, where is this?
Leonid is my new hero. And let’s hear it for no government bureaucrats telling him he can’t do it.
yea lets hear it for no one gettin in his way
Very interesting story about perseverance although a few questions remain, such as:
1) how long is the “metro” system?
2) what kind of carriages will he be using?
3) rails?
4) electric motors or cable?
4a) If electric, what about safety.
All in all, a great way to use one’s retirement years, education, and experience.
BTW:
I love to read the articles in englishrussia as part of a complete perspective of life there, but a question lingers -
WOULD THE WEBMASTERS PLEASE WORK WITH A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER TO WRITE THE ARTICLES AND CAPTIONS?
Thank you.
We are told that this is accordance with the safety measures. However, taking into account how strict Russian safety codes are, this is not really difficult. Probably this person has just been drinking vodka with a safety inspector.
i wish i could explore that
RESPECT!!!
