Have you ever witnessed construction of a metro train or seen a real steam engine of the last century? The photos related to the topics are presented in the post.

Metrovagonmash is the leading manufacturer of trains for subways of large cities in the CIS and Eastern European countries. It was founded in 1897 as a carriage works and even used to produce trucks. Today almost all metro trains in Russia are manufactured here.

Metrovagonmash Joint-Stock Company.

The main metro trains produced here are numbered as 81-714.5/717.5, 81-740/741 and 81-760/761. Last year the enterprise manufactured 243 trains and repaired 113 trains. It is more preferable to repair trains at the plant because in this case new equipment is installed instead of old one at the same cost. The Moscow Subway ordered 320 trains in the current year. The volume is large enough and it was decided to order part of equipment in Tver.

It takes 70 hours to construct a train. Every train starts with a carriage.

A welding shop.

Experienced workers produce the body of the train with the help of welding.

The metal is cut, adjusted, fixed and welded. The roof, the walls and the frame are manufactured separately.

Final assembly of the carriage.

Later the carriages are placed on brakes.

The carriages packed in the white film are transported to Tver.

The carriage is painted.

The white fiberglass mask is very light.

The inside of the carriage does not look very attractive yet.

Then the train goes to the assembling shop. The very first shop where such trains were produced was numbered 17 and today all shops are assigned a number of three figures tow of which are marked as 17.

In shop 217 they are busy with mounting of equipment onto the carriage.

Trains are elevated and safely fixed which makes the procedure fast and easy.

Only a necessary amount of details is produced here. Everybody knows where every detail is stored, this helps to minimize the idle-period.

New trains are supplied with smart electronics. The inverter turns the continuous current into the alternate one and enables to control the engine and recover the energy during slowdown.

Foreign equipment acquires more popularity as high quality is in good demand.

Trains 740/741 were intended for light rapid transit and have flexible linking and modern city design. However, they showed perfect characteristics and are now exploited in tunnels as well.

As soon as assembly is finished the train is loaded onto carriages. Now it will be painted and checked.

The plant has a line which is 1 km long. It is used for mechanical run tests.

It is planned to construct a separate shop where finished products will be accepted. Rail buses are assembles at a different place. They are supplied with diesel engines and can move along any railway lines no matter if there is electrification or not.

These trains are ordered by Serbia, they differ from standard Russian trains.

Today the enterprise manufactures more complex products and can’t afford full-cycle production any more. It will increase the quality and reduce expenses on support and restoration of equipment at shops like these ones.

What comes to your mind when you think about the subway? Turnstiles, ticket offices, trains?
Today, we want to take you to Metrowagonmash, an engineering company in Mytishchi, the Moscow Region, to see how they make trains there.

“Avert defects! Not fix them!” “Continuously increasing quality and professionalism!”
Founded in 1897, the company was known as Mitishi Machine-Building Factory which manufactured railcars.

First produce of the company was intended for the Russian North Railway.

Tramways and snowplows for Moscow have been produced since 1903, electric passenger trains since 1929 and metro-cars since 1934.

During World War II, self-propelled guns, military tractors, tracked vehicles and other military material were produced. The plant was partially evacuated to Ural in October 1941, in 1942 the equipment returned back. In 1947, production of dump trucks has started.
The company has later concentrated on production of subway cars, dump trucks and armored tracked vehicles. Recently (in 1999), the plant started manufacturing rail buses as well.

The company’s welding department.

Trains get assembled in a neighboring department.

Here they manufacture and repair subway cars.

Its production process starts here, at the welding department.

Sometimes, human factor plays a greater role than electronics.

It is more reliable but modern companies forget about it.

The company currently manufactures the following subway cars: 81-714.5/717.5, 81-740/741 и 81-760/761.

740/741 subway cars are intended for working outside.

In the same department, you will find these bogies.

Assembly is followed by painting.

They paint their subway cars and stick thier index numbers.

This is going to be the subway car’s “face”.

It takes them about 70 hours to manufacture one car.

“Kazan”.
After that, the car gets into the hands of people who put finishing touches to the car.

One of those people assembling equipment.

Now, let’s just take a look at how they do it.

Members of the Metrowagonmash team.

There was a time when the company was able to carry out a complete production cycle. With time, they had to pass on some of the work to specialized factories (molding, blacksmithing, thermal treatment).

Location: Mytishchi

It took these guys only 70 hours to construct a train according to the 1st post.

Lui's men spent already more than 70 DAYS and yet our trains are still suffering the same faults over & over.:*:

<p>In some places, the road will lay across tunnels featuring a total length of 30 km.</p>
<p>Not far from Adler is Vesely Village where they produce tunnel tubings. The plant consists of several large rooms where they produce and store their produce. To make tubings, they need concrete and iron rods.</p>

Metrowagonmash was founded in 1897 as a rail car building plant. Later they developed production of crawler vehicles and then dump trucks. Today Metrowagonmash is a place where most of Russian subway cars get manufactured and repaired.

“Metrowagonmash JSC”.

The company produces the following subway cars: 81-714.5/717.5, 81-740/741 and 81-760/761. Last year, they manufactured 243 subway cars, 32 railbuses, and repaired 113 subway cars. This year, they plan to increase the number of subway cars manufactured to 320. It takes them about 70 hours to produce one subway car.

Its welding department.

This is where they make the “body” of the subway car.

They cut metal and weld it. They make frames, roofs and walls separately.

Nearby they carry out the subway car’s final assembly.

Here they also manufacture bogies.

These bodies have been manufactured in Tver.

This is where bodies get precoated and painted.

They attach a glass-fibre plastic mask to the front of the body…

And paint it.

After that, the painted body goes to the assembly department.

In Department #217, they install equipment.

They use hoisting jacks to lift the body.

The number of component parts produced corresponds to the number of component parts needed. This is called “saving production”.

Here they also install noise-insulating equipment and wiring.

Under the car, there are all kinds of engine control systems, pneumatic systems and batteries.

Modern subway cars feature a bunch of up-to-date technologies and electronics, like an invertor that allows to recuperate up to 50% of electricity.

Unfortunately, subway cars produced by Metrowagonmash can’t boast having a lot of Russian-made electronics because it can’t compete with European one in quality and reliability.

Subway cars 740/741 are supposed to run in the open air and feature modern design. They can also be used in tunnels.

When the car is assembled, it goes to the painting and checkout department.

Workers of the painting and checkout department check all the systems of the subway car, install additional components and paint signs.

They measure each car with a special frame.

They check out its rolling characteristics.

Life of a railbus starts in a another building. Railbuses are peculiar due to the fact that they are equipped with a diesel engine which allows them to run independently from power supply. Railbuses are mosly used for serving lanes of low passenger flow.

This RA-2 looks very stylish and up-to-date.

In this department they also manufacture diesel trains for Siberia. They plan to produce 12 two-car trains.

The company collaborates with other industries like foundries or forge shops.

Metrowagonmash is a developing company which provides over 15 million passengers in Russia, some CIS and European countries with modern and comfortable subway cars.

I think we have this in SG but not as well organized and experienced: (yet LEEgime brags to sky to want to show the world how to do what they failed - today 15.Mar.2012 NEL broken down again for 8 hrs!) SG did this @open-air areas outside the tunnel construction site.

Pokrov Plant of Concrete Goods produces concrete goods for Mosmetrostroy, a subway-building company, industrial engineering and housing construction.
The company was founded on May 1st, 1970 and in 2009 it was purchased by Mosmetrostroy. The plant today features up-to-date equipment to produce high quality concrete tunnel blocks of 5 types.

Let’s visit its carousel line first. The carousel line produces concrete blocks of three types.
This is where they make reinforcing cages for their concrete blocks.

Reinforcing cages.

Then each reinforcing cage goes into a special chamber to be filled with concrete.

A vibration stand.

They use scrapers to manually shape the surface of each block.

Then it goes into a curing pit.

Done!

Dismantling the block.

The block is almost completed.

After that, the block goes into their quality department.

“Mosmetrostroy”.
This machine turns the block over.

This is where they store their concrete blocks. Before that, they separate blocks from each other with rubber washers and cover their sides with some substance.

This conveyer-type line produces two types of concrete blocks for civil engineering.

Finished produce.

Guest workers from Central Asia make up 30% of the staff.
