The whole area, along with Lyubertsy and other areas along the Kazansky suburban direction of Moscow Railway, Kazansky and Ryazansky suburban direction of Moscow Railway, Ryazansky suburban directions of Moscow Railway were strongly dependent on the station of Vykhino, then the terminus of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line and a transfer station to both railway directions.
