Construction of Moscow Canal (1932-1938) required building a new railroad bridge on a track running over the lower chamber of Lock No.8., near the village of Shchukino, which at this time was far outside the city limits. Tram service to Shchukino was started soon afterwards in 1938,Tram maps. Note the difference between two 1938 maps (January, December) but urban development didn't began until the 1960s.
