Tsarskoye Selo Railway

<space=1em>The Beginning of Beginnings

<space=1em>The history of Russian railway transport begins with the construction of the Tsarskoye Selo Railway, which connected St. Petersburg with Tsarskoye Selo and Pavlovsk.

<space=1em>A joint-stock company was formed in early 1836 to implement the first railway transport project in Russia. On May 1 of that year, construction began. On October 30 in 1837, the first Russian railway for public use was opened.

<space=1em>42 minutes en route

<space=1em>At the very beginning, trains were horse-drawn and only on Sundays — steam-powered. The railway was completely converted to steam traction on April 4 1838

<space=1em>A permanent timetable for five pairs of trains per day was first introduced on May 15 1838 The travel time was 42 minutes, the average speed was 32 km/h. By the end of the 1860s 19th century the average train speed was 42.7 km/h.

<space=1em>May 22 1838 the section Tsarskoye Selo — Pavlovsk was opened.

<space=1em>Search and Solutions

<space=1em>Locomotives, carriages and rails were mainly ordered abroad, but some carriages and equipment began to be manufactured at the Alexandrovsky Plant in St. Petersburg.

<space=1em>As a result of experimental purchases of locomotives and other rolling stock, Russian requirements for locomotives, carriages and other railway mechanisms were formed.

<space=1em>Long-term operation of a wide gauge was carried out, as well as experiments with the gauge width, which showed the economic disadvantage of this size and led to the choice of a normal rail gauge, which has been preserved to this day.

<space=1em>"Imperial Route"

<space=1em>On May 5, 1876 the second route opened for service, which significantly increased the speed and safety of train traffic.

<space=1em>The Tsarskoye Selo railway existed as an independent railway until January 2 1900, after which it was purchased, included in the Moscow-Window-Rybinsk Railway and converted to the Russian gauge.

<space=1em>In addition to the two main ones, the "Imperial Route" was built, along which the royal trains passed between St. Petersburg and Tsarskoye Selo.
