Paveletskiy Rail Terminal is one of Moscow's nine railroad terminals. Originally called Saratov Railway Station, it was named after a village of Pavelets, when the railroad leading south-west of Moscow reached that point in 1899. The ornate building of the station, completed in 1900 and extensively reconstructed in the 1980s, remains the smallest of Moscow railway terminals. In 1924, it was the place where Muscovites came to meet the body of deceased Lenin. The Lenin Funeral Train is still a permanent exhibit there. The Aeroexpress train links Paveletsky station with Domodedovo airport.
From the Paveletskiy Railway Terminal suburban electric trains departs towards Kashira, Ozherelye, Uzunovo. Express electric trains departs to Ozherelye and Domodedovo Airport. The major directions of long-distant trains are Almaty, Astrakhan, Baku, Balakovo, Balashov, Donetsk, Lipetsk, Luhansk, Saratov, Tambov, Volgograd, Voronezh, Yelets.
This was a symmetrical building with heightened center, large windows and wide doorways. There were entrances, vestibule, luggage space, waiting rooms for public, booking-offices, telegraph, pharmacy and a bar at the front. There was a large operation hall in the center which separated rooms for the first and second class passengers from the rooms for the third class passengers.
The new Paveletskiy Railway Terminal, six times larger by volume and four times by carrying capacity than the old one, was opened on 3 November 1987.
