In 1924, the club brought together the strongest football players of several lines of the Moscow railway system as KOR ('Club of the October Revolution'). In 1931, the club was again renamed to Kazanka (Moskovskaya-Kazanskaya Zh.D) and in 1936, it was eventually renamed to as it is known today, Lokomotiv (the name means 'Locomotive'). During the Communist rule, Lokomotiv Moscow club was a part of the Lokomotiv Voluntary Sports Society and was owned by the Soviet Ministry of Transportation through the Russian Railways.[citation needed] (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
