Name

The station, which was to be named Cherkizovo, reflecting the name of a village originally on the site, was ultimately named Lokomotiv for the soccer team that plays its home games nearby.[1]

Transfer

Lokomotiv offers out-of-station transfers to Cherkizovskaya on the Sokolnicheskaya Line. A new platform is being constructed in 2020 for some overnight train services, rerouted from Moskva-Kurskaya station.[2]
