Leninskaya Line is a line of the Novosibirsk Metro

Novosibirsk Metro

-History:Novosibirsk is the third largest city of Russia, with a population of 1.4 million people. It was founded as a junction city between the main transfer arteries in Siberia, the Trans-Siberian railway and the Ob River. Thus, it was not a surprise that the city grew very quickly...

. The line was opened along with the Metro in 1986 with the original five station segment. Since then it slowly expanded. The line bisects the city of a Northwest-Southeast axis before making a 90 degree turn and crossing the river Ob river on a closed bridge. The financial difficulties of the early 1990s delayed the extensions.
