Paveletskiy Rail Terminal
Paveletskiy 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.
