D 1777

<space=1em>Oyster compartment

<space=1em>The cars of this type were built by the St. Petersburg workshops of the St. Petersburg-Warsaw Railway in 1894–1900. Their special feature was a compartment for transporting oysters. About 60 of these cars were built.

<space=1em>January 1 1907 The St. Petersburg-Warsaw Railway was merged with the Baltic and Pskov-Riga Railways to form the North-Western Railways. In 1909 a single type of three-axle baggage car was created for state-owned railways. In addition to the standard ones, there are carriages for the Southwestern Railways with cash chests and for the Northwestern Railways with a compartment for oysters, like the carriages built earlier.

<space=1em>Baggage carriages on the St. Petersburg-Warsaw and Northwestern Railways had the D series.

<space=1em>The same carriage D 1734 transported in 1904 the body of A.P. Chekhov, who died at a resort in Germany. Here is what A.I. Kuprin wrote: "Just like a dream, I remember his funeral. Cold, grey Petersburg, confusion with telegrams, a small crowd of people at the station, the "oyster car", the station authorities who had never heard of Chekhov and saw in his body only railway freight. Then — as a contrast — Moscow, elemental grief, thousands of seemingly orphaned people, tear-stained faces. And, finally, a grave at the Novodevichy Cemetery, all covered with flowers..."

<space=1em>A museum piece

<space=1em>The car was preserved due to the fact that for a long time it was used to store linen at the technical inspection point for long-distance passenger cars at the Leningrad-Passazhirsky-Finlyandsky station. Transferred from there to the museum in 1990 Restored during repair work carried out by OOO ARS-M in 2013–2014

Хронология: <space=1em>Three-axle carriages began to be built immediately after the advent of railways, and their golden era lasted until 1912. There were several reasons for their appearance: the first carriages had solid wooden frames, and it was impossible to build such a carriage, and the track did not allow a load of more than 10 tons from the axle. They also tried to lengthen the carriage to increase passenger capacity. At first, carriages were mainly built abroad, and they had a typical European carriage design of the so-called carriage type. That is, in the carriage, the compartments were located across the carriage, and the entrance to them was made on both sides of the side walls. Getting to the toilet, which was in the luggage compartment, was not so easy. Those who wanted to had to make their way along the side outer step, which ran along the carriage. However, this was done in emergency cases - stops were frequent and long for locomotives to take on water and fuel, so passengers used station toilets. <space=1em>The design was inconvenient, it was difficult to heat the compartment, so they switched to cars with an internal corridor. Three-axle cars were used for passenger, baggage, mail and a small number of freight cars (platforms, tanks). As the track superstructure was strengthened, this axle was dismantled on the cars and the frame could be strengthened by installing a truss. <space=1em>A three-axle baggage car was built in the St. Petersburg workshops of the St. Petersburg-Warsaw Railway. Its first section from St. Petersburg to Gatchina was opened in 1853, and construction of the track to Warsaw was completed at the end of 1862. <space=1em>A tank for transporting live oysters was installed in the cars of this series. <space=1em>The body of A.P. Chekhov, who died in Germany, was transported to Russia in a car of this type D 1734 in 1904. <space=1em>The carriage presented in the museum was used for a long time to store linen at the Leningrad-Passazhirsky-Finlyandsky station, from where it was transferred to the museum in 1990. The third axle was restored during the restoration work.
