History
1912
1911: Laying a railway bridge across the Volga
Once upon a time, traveling by rail from Moscow to Kazan was a real adventure. Passengers arriving in Sviyazhsk were forced to leave the train and continue on horse-drawn routes to the Volga crossing. There they were waiting for a ferry that transported them across the river, after which they could take another train and complete the journey to Kazan. Freight cars were transported in winter on ice, and in summer on special ferries.
On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov house, it was decided to build a railway bridge across the Volga. In 1911, the project was approved, the author of which was the famous engineer Nikolai Apollonovich Belelyubsky. In February of the same year, a solemn laying of the bridge took place.
