This vintage postcard is captioned “Leningrad Metro” and besides
the train, it also shows a female worker in Narvskaya Station.
This postcard was sent by Victoria (May 2015) Postcrossing.
Postcards I have received from 2013 to 2018 primarily through Postcrossing and Swap-bot although there are some postcards here that are from other sources.

RU-3618872 Vintage postcard of Leningrad Metro (St Petersburg Metro) Narvskaya Station
The Saint Petersburg Metro (Петербу́ргский метрополитен)
is the underground railway system in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast,
Russia. It has been open since November 15, 1955. The system exhibits many
typical Soviet designs and features exquisite decorations and artwork making it
one of the most attractive and elegant metros in the world. Due to the city's
unique geology, the Saint Petersburg Metro is one of the deepest metro systems
in the world and the deepest by the average depth of all the stations. The
system's deepest station, Admiralteyskaya, is 86 metres below ground. Serving
2.15 million passengers daily, it is also the 16th busiest metro system in the
world.
