Lonely Planet review

The wide square on the Garden Ring is dominated by the Paveletsky Station, terminus for trains to the Volga region. The finest loco in the neighbourhood, however, stands idle in an air-conditioned pavilion just east of the station. It is the funeral train which brought Lenin's body to Moscow from Gorki Leninskie, where he died, in January 1924. The old steam engine is in beautiful condition, but does not receive many visitors these days.

From Kozhevnichenskaya ulitsa, cut behind the row of kiosks and through the overgrown park to the pavilion in the back.
