Sound of Moscow Metrovagonmash 81-717/81-714 departing Soviet Union train

81-717/714 is a metro car designed in the Soviet Union in the mid-1970s. The cars were made from 1976 to 2010 by Metrovagonmash and the I. E. Yegorov Vagonmash factories of Mytishchi and Saint Petersburg, respectively. Production is still ongoing for specific models and/or modernizations.
The name 81-717 and 81-714 come from the Soviet electric rail vehicle numbering system, where the 81-717 cars are the control cars and the 81-714 are the trailer cars. Unlike the previous metro sets made in the Soviet Union, they never received a lettered classification, thus, they have been known as the 81-series or the "Number Trains" (Номерной Поезд). The "number trains", as they are known colloquially among railfans and some commuters, feature restyled front ends, stronger electric traction motors, complex and wider usage of various electronic devices, and are more advanced than their predecessors, the E-series, with the biggest difference being lack of control desks at every end of each car (despite all cars being motorized, though).
They were first deployed in Moscow and Prague in 1978, and have since then seen widespread usage in the former USSR and in Warsaw, Prague, Budapest and Sofia in European Union.

The most iconic metro’s of the Soviet Union

Yes, really like this one

[@Matt-the-Youtube-user]

As I said. 81-717 is "A living legend of metro trains." I ain't kidding, just search, how many cities still uses it (either unchanged or modified).

1972 stock still has more aggressive doors

[@Burymlife]

Что-то за последнее время у многих Номерных двери открываются и закрываются плавно. Раньше они вообще хлопали

[@soundsliketrain]

Да, помнится хлопали так, что аж друг от друга отскакивали после хлопка, а теперь действительно довольно плавно закрываются. Видимо, модернизация)

[@hb6789]

Love when they have the aggressive doors that seem like they can chop your arm off, the buzzing or the whirring of the engine when idle, the mean acceleration that sounds like a tie-fighter, the M on the front that seems like the logo of a rock band. Hope they never ever replace these for good, for some fluorescent modern garbage. These are a true gem, need to be appreciated more as a feat of Soviet engineering and reliability.

[@soundsliketrain]

Your comment sounds like music to my ears

[@h1suke]

the buzz when idling is from high voltage transformer (750V to 12V so it can power lights and audio)

[@Matt-the-Youtube-user]

Well, the title "A living legend of metro trains" suits 81-717 very well. Srsly, just look up how many cities still uses these trains, either unchanged or modified.

[@drunklorry3406]

@@h1suke it i worth to notice that is works all the time, not only when the train is not moving. Just other sounds overpower that buzz when the train is on move :D The system is calles БПСН (BPSN), i.e. Блок Битания Собственных Нужд, which is a Block of Self Need Supplementation or or a Block of Self Needed electirification, you know, that kind of thing. It converts 825 v to 220 v and 80 v to get the lightings everywhere and all the stuff in operator's cabin work

This, is a living legend of metro trains. I am not lying, most people interested about metro trains know 81-717 very well. Also these trains are still in use in many cties either unchanged or modified. For example, in Prague, these trains are still in use, but they were reconstructed and reconstructed version is called 81-717M.

[@SejLifts]

Třeba v Budapešti a Sofii jsou modernizovány samotným mwm, narozdíl od Prahy kde byly modernizovány Škodovkou. V Sofii ještě však pár originálních nomernoyů zůstalo

[@Matt-the-Youtube-user]

@@SejLifts Proto si vlak metra 81-717 zaslouží titul "Živoucí legenda vlaků metra." Dodnes se používá v mnoho městech (ať už je upravený, či nikoliv). Jinak v Praze zůstal jeden 5 vagónový vlak metra 81-717 nerekonstruován, a používá se na různé zvláštní příležitosti. A navíc vlak metra 81-717M si i po rekonstrukci zachoval určité spojitosti se svým nerekonstruovaným protějškem. Technicky vzato, vlak metra 81-717M je totiž vlak metra 81-717, ale hodně upravený. Jo a FYI několik neupravených vlaků metra 81-717 je dodnes používá i v Budapešti, ale těm už prý zvoní hrana. Navíc, důvod, proč vlak metra 81-717 nebyl v Praze rekonstruován Metrovagonmašem ale Škodovkou, je velmi prostý. O rekonstrukci vlaků metra 81-717 se začalo uvažovat už na konci 90. let, a v té době, jsme měli Rusů už plný zuby, tak jsme se zařídili po svém.
