History
The first summer houses were constructed in the area in 1898.[2] In the same year, a railway station, Platform of the 10th versta (Russian: Платформа 10-й версты) was open to serve the houses. In 1904, a settlement of Losinoostrovsky was officially established. The name came from the nearby Losiny Ostrov Forest, currently Losiny Ostrov National Park. In 1908, the Moscow Encircle Railway was completed, and the Platform of the 10th versta, renamed to Losinoostrovskaya, became a large freight station. In addition to the freight yard, there was a locomotive depot. In November 1924, the settlement of Losinoostrovsky was renamed Losinoostrovsk and was granted a town status. In 1939 it was renamed Babushkin, after Mikhail Babushkin, and in 1960, Babushkin was merged into Moscow.[3] In 1929, the railway line between Moscow and Mytishchi, including Losinoostrovskaya, was electrified.[4]
In 1900, a railway line connecting Beskudnikovo and Losinoostrovskaya was constructed. This was done in order to facilitate the railway traffic between Moscow and Kimry (Savyolovo), since Moscow Savyolovsky railway station was not open yet.[5] After a tram line from central line to Medvedkovo was built, in 1966 a direct connection to Losinoostrovskaya was discontinued, and the whole railway line was demolished in 1987.[5]
