BEFORE TODAY’S TRAINS

Earlier generations.

The network began with types A and B. Later generations included V, G, D, E and Ezh variants. Yauza (81-720/721) introduced another experimental chapter. These are historical types rather than the regular fleet presented above. Restored A carriages and Ezh3 / Em-508T trains may appear on special museum or celebration services.
