history
The facility opened on July 9, 1955. In 1971 it was named after the railway worker Konstantin Sergejewitsch Saslonov - a national hero of the Soviet Union - who had commanded a partisan brigade. The track is operated exclusively by young people under the supervision of adults.
The railway serves three stations: the northern terminus Saslonowo, the intermediate station Pionerskaya and the southern terminus Sosnovyj Bor. There are reversing loops at both ends . Saslonowo is located between the Chelyuskintsev Park and Moskovskaya stations of the Minsk Metro , both of which are on the Moskovskaya Line.
