🏛 Yaroslavsky Station

Комсомольская пл., 5

Shekhtel's fairy-tale station of 1904 in the Neo-Russian style with a high roof and majolica, the starting point of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

The first building, from 1862, served the line to Sergiev Posad, and the station was called Troitsky.
From 1922 to 1955 the station was called Severny (Northern).
Shekhtel rebuilt the station in 1902–1904, keeping part of the old building and using reinforced concrete.
Above the entrance are the coats of arms of Moscow, Arkhangelsk and Yaroslavl, the main cities of the line.
The halls were decorated with Konstantin Korovin's panels about life in the North, such as "Walrus Hunt" and "Northern Lights".
The Trans-Siberian's "Kilometer Zero" is marked between tracks three and four.
On 20 June 1929 Moscow's first electric train left from here.
