Abandoned Moscow: walking over railway station and railway branches of the Southern river port

The South Port station is located in the Pechatniki district of Moscow. It was opened in 1971 to service the Southern Port, Pechatniki metro depot and other industrial facilities. The Moscow City Hall plans to build office and entertainment buildings on the site of the river port, so cargo work in the port is gradually slowing down, and in November 2021, cargo delivery by rail stopped. Due to a drop in cargo turnover, the South Port station is gradually dying: half of the station is no longer in use, and the railway lines to the port are overgrown with grass and trees, as if they were not in Moscow, but in the Amazon forests. In this video, we are going to the wilds of Moscow, which in the best years was a large industrial area with a bunch of wagons, diesel locomotives, tracks, barges, port cranes and other amazing mechanisms. It is sad to see how all this now rusts in the open air and drowns in vegetation, but I will try to give you a tour without losing heart.
