History
The concession to build a railway between Moscow and Savyolovo was given in 1897 to the Second Society of Connecting Lines.

). The construction started in 1898, and it turned out that there were insufficient supplies of stone in the construction areas.

After a tram line from central line to Medvedkovo was built, in 1966 a direct connection to Losinoostrovskaya was discontinued, and the whole railway line between Beskudnikovo and Losinoostrovskaya was demolished in 1987.
In 1902, Moscow Savyolovsky railway station was opened, and traffic was rerouted there. The second track between Moscow and
