Kashirskaya (Каширская) is a cross-platform station complex on the Moscow Metro , serving both the Zamoskvoretskaya Line and the Kakhovskaya Line . Designed by architects were N.I. Demchinsky and Yu.A. Kolesnikova , it was opened in 1969 as part of the Kolomenskaya-Kakhovskaya extension of the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. Kashirskaya consists of two separate, parallel platforms: the western platform (where Zamoskvoretskaya Line trains terminating at Krasnogvardeyskaya and Kakhovskaya Line trains terminating at Kakhovskaya stop), and the eastern platform (where trains terminating at Rechnoy Vokzal and Kashirskaya stop). Since Kashirskaya is the terminus of the Kakhovskaya Line, trains from Kakhovskaya first stop at the eastern platform to deposit passengers, then go into the terminus tunnel before returning to the western platform to pick up passengers for the trip back to Kakhovskaya. When the station opened in when a tunnel linking the eatern and westernmost paths was compleated that the Kakhovskaya branch became a separate line. Both the platforms conform to the pillar-trispan or "Sorokonozhka" design. The pillars in the eastern station are faced with grey marble and those in the western station with red. In addition, the both station walls are decorated with plaques by Z.M. Vetrova commemorating electrification (due to the proximity of the Kashira Hydroelectric Power Plant). Entrances to the station are located on either side of the Kashira highway south of Kolomensky Prospekt. The Kashira exit is very close to the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute . TRANSFERS Passengers can transfer between the Zamoskvoretskaya Line and the Kakhovskaya Line at this station. EXTERNAL LINKS |
