From the history of Yaroslavl station

The idea of ​​building a railway arose in the mid-19th century, when it was estimated that more than 150 thousand people a year traveled along the road towards Yaroslavl on various types of transport - from carriages to carts - and about 4 million pounds of various cargo were transported. And several times a year, thousands of pilgrims go to Sergiev Posad to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra.

The initiator of the construction of the railway towards Yaroslavl was Fyodor Vasilyevich Chizhov, professor of mathematics at Moscow State University, who made a significant contribution to the development of industry and trade in Russia. Fyodor Chizhov managed to attract young merchants to the construction, including the wealthy and energetic entrepreneur Ivan Mamontov, the father of the future famous philanthropist Savva Mamontov.

On July 24, 1958, Emperor Alexander II allowed research to be carried out on the construction of the road, for which the Moscow-Yaroslavl Railway Society was approved in May 1959. The founders considered their primary goal to be the public benefit of the track being built, and not making a profit.

The design of the station was entrusted to the St. Petersburg architect Roman Ivanovich Kuzmin, who took on the master of architecture Smarang Loginovich Shustov as an assistant. The site for construction was determined along the same line with Nikolaevsky, now Leningradsky station. In 1862, a strict and elegant two-story white building was built.

The construction of the road took 3 years and by the summer of 1862 the work was completed. On July 22, a test drive of the steam locomotive with a platform took place, on which engineers and members of the acceptance committee, headed by the founding director of the Company, Colonel M. Bogomolets, sat in a tent. On August 18, 1862, the station and road were dedicated and daily train service was opened. This was the first Russian railway without the participation of foreign capital. Until 1870, trains ran only to Sergiev Posad with stops at Mytishchi and Pushkinskaya, Talitskaya and Khotkov stations. The length of the path was 65 versts or 69 km.

The passenger cars purchased in Germany were cold and instead of vestibules they had an open area. At first, the trains ran without a schedule, the stop times were unknown and the conductors did not open the door to let passengers onto the platform to stretch their legs and get some air. For this reason, traffic management was inundated with complaints from disgruntled passengers.

Until the end of the 19th century, the Yaroslavl station remained almost unchanged, and the extension and superstructure of the building carried out in 1900 practically did not solve the problem of lack of space with increased passenger traffic. Therefore, they decided to build a new building, the design of which was carried out by Fyodor Shekhtel and was approved by all authorities, including Nicholas II. Construction began in the spring of 1902 and was completed by 1907. In terms of area, the new station building was three times larger than the old one and, made in neo-Russian style, was unusual both outside and inside. Fyodor Shekhtel managed to take advantage of the principles of ancient Russian architecture and combined into one whole several buildings of different shapes and sizes. Above the entrance in the niche of the pediment are depicted the coats of arms of the cities of Yaroslavl - a bear with an axe, Arkhangelsk - Michael the Archangel slaying the devil and Moscow - St. George the Victorious. The light façade and muted tones of the ceramic panel depicting floral patterns remind us of the cold north.

As a result of reconstruction in 1995, a ticket hall was located on the ground floor of the building and an additional Waiting Room was opened. An automatic fire extinguishing system and an electronic information system were installed.

The first electric train went to Mytishchi in 1929, and the Sputnik high-speed train - in 2004.

Yaroslavsky Station - name

• Since the opening of the road in 1862, the station and the railway were called Trinity, since they connected the capital and Sergiev Posad, where the Holy Trinity Lavra of Sergius is located
• In 1870, when the road was extended to Yaroslavl, the station received the name of Yaroslavl
• On January 1, 1907, the Moscow-Yaroslavsko-Arkhangelsk and St. Petersburg-Vologda-Vyatskaya railways became Northern Railways (not to be confused with the Northern Railway - a branch of Russian Railways) and Yaroslavsky Station became Northern
• In 1936, Yaroslavsky Station received its former name.

Interesting facts about Yaroslavsky railway station

• Moscow Metropolitan Philaret, who consecrated the station before the opening of the railway in August 1862, believed that from a religious point of view this road was harmful, since “the pilgrims will come to the Lavra in carriages, in which they will hear all sorts of stories, often bad ones, whereas now they walk and every step they take is a feat pleasing to God.”
• On August 31, 1897, the Moscow News newspaper reported the crash of a train of 13 cars arriving at the station from Sergiev Posad. The cars' automatic brakes failed for an unknown reason and the train driver sounded the alarm whistles. Although the hand brakes were applied at the end of the track, the train still hit an empty baggage car standing at the end of the track. Under the pressure of the train, he perched and crashed into the building of the Road Administration. Fortunately, there were few casualties in this accident, since there were no people in the destroyed building.
• Yaroslavsky Station is called the Trans-Siberian Gate; the Trans-Siberian Railway, 9,302 km long, stretches from it to Vladivostok.
• From the Yaroslavsky station there is a route not only to the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, but also to Abramtsevo and Star City
• According to reconstruction plans, for the convenience of passengers, it is planned to expand the territory of the station to suburban ticket offices and turnstiles. There will be new suburban ticket offices, a pharmacy salon and a restaurant, and on the station square there will be a supermarket and a cinema.

The Yaroslavl Station in Moscow, in terms of its functions, is a large modern public institution, the appearance of which - an elegant fairy-tale tower - reminds us of the natural beauty, the richness of the forests and rivers of the north.
