Boris,


It is a famous story known by all (most) phystechs in 1980's-1990's.
I heard it first time around 1987.
You can read one of the descriptions of that story (in Russian), e.g. here:
http://www.nasha.lv/article.php?id=555190&date=24-5-2005
As I described in an earlier message, - in response to Larry, -
the story is fictional.

"Novodachnaya" station has been there (with that name) since 1964:

If you visiting Phystech on or shortly after April 1, you could've
seen it being renamed to "Vodochnaya" (as in "vodka").

Cheers,

Igor

Spasibo. I confused the subway (metro) with railway (elektrichka)... I am totally clueless about all things railway since I wasn't traveling by railway all that much back then.

As for "Vodochnaya" - that would be a totally plausible story too.

Thanks for the articles.

Boris
