Vykhino Metro Station (Moscow)

Opened on 31 December 1966 as the final part of the Zhdanovskiy Radius, the station has remained the southeastern terminus of the line since. The station is unique in many respects. First of all, it was the last station in Moscow (not counting the reconstruction of Vorobyovy Gory in 2002 and the light Metro in 2003) to be built above ground, and the last to have side (as opposed to island) platforms. In fact, the metro station is only part of a combined transfer node, the rest of which consists of the mainline suburban railway (Kazanskoye direction).
