Railways of the Sverdlovsk region are among the top three of Russian Railways. Next, learn about the history of the construction of the highway. The article will also tell about the unique museum of the Sverdlovsk Railway existing in Yekaterinburg.
General information
Sverdlovsk branch of the railwayprovides uninterrupted access of trains from the northwestern and central regions of our country to Kazakhstan, Siberia and the Far East. This highway is built in a special way. So, it borders on the South Ural, Gorky and West Siberian railways. This transport complex provides more than 9.5% of the total volume of loading and unloading of highly profitable goods. Namely: transportation of oil, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, coal, construction and forest materials is carried out. The Directorate of the Sverdlovsk Railway is doing everything possible to ensure safety, uninterrupted and comfortable transportation. The head is A. Yu. Mironov, the first deputy head is V. V. Iskorostensky. Chief engineer SvZHD - I. O. Naboychenko. Sverdlovsk Railway provides transportation of goods to more than 12,000 industrial companies. In addition, it serves about 1,500 access roads. A network of small access lines and branches is developed in the Sverdlovsk regional woodworking, coal and mining companies.
History of creation
Первый проект, в соответствии с которым должна the Sverdlovsk railway was built, it was nominated by entrepreneur I. I. Lyubimov. This important event took place in 1868. At his suggestion, the scheme of the Sverdlovsk Railway assumed a branch from Perm to Tobol, crossing such cities as Yekaterinburg, Kungur and Shadrinsk. After a short period of time, the government decided to carry out exploratory work on the ground. After that, the main construction of the highway began. Such a responsible event was entrusted to the "Society of the Mining-and-Steel Railway". The main work on the alienation of land, deforestation and demolition of buildings began in 1870. In the same period, they engaged in the construction of bridges, the construction of temporary roads and the construction of the telegraph.
After eight years of construction work has been openedThe first branch is 669 miles long. The starting point of the journey was Perm, and the final destination was the city of Yekaterinburg. By the end of 1885, a railway line from Yekaterinburg to Tyumen was commissioned. And only at the beginning of 1888 this road was united with the Gornozavodskaya road into one route, which was called the Ural Railway. 1896 marked the end of the construction of a branch from Yekaterinburg to Chelyabinsk. Thanks to the creation of this line, the Sverdlovsk Railway was merged with the Trans-Siberian direction. Due to the fact that the carrying capacity of the mining site was extremely small, in 1906 they decided to build a new line through the Urals. And after three years, the first trains went along this railway. Over the following years, the Theological, Western Ural and Omsk railways were added to the Perm mainline. Since the 1930s, they have been subjected to several reorganizations. However, in the end, the Perm and Sverdlovsk branches were merged. This event occurred in 1953.
Museum of the Sverdlovsk Railway
In 2003, the station was openedgallery of history, science and technology SvZhD. For your information, the old “harbor” for trains was designed by architect P. P. Schreiber. Currently, this building is a monument of history and culture of the XIX century.
Parade exposure
The entrance to the building is open.playground, in which there are a number of sculptures. These works of architecture embody the railway professions of different eras. For example, here you can see the statue of the station head, who, with a bell, notifies passengers about the train departure. Also in front of the entrance to the building there is a group of "travelers". With this sculpture, the author illustrates the reality faced by passengers at the station. In addition, on the square in front of the museum building, there are visual exhibits of the railway industry. Here you can see a semaphore, a railway trolley, designed to transport sleepers, a barrier equipped with a warning device, and so on.
Exhibits
Internal Gallery Expositions Representsubjects of both technical and historical nature. When creating the first category, we decided to use the principle of the game. This approach was due to the fact that not all visitors understand railway terminology. In view of this, the apron of the Ekaterinburg station of the XIX century was reconstructed. Tellingly, the composition turned out to be extremely realistic and similar to the original. It was possible to achieve this effect thanks to the surviving photographs of the apron. On the platform, the authors of the exhibition arranged passengers, benches, a stationary bell, and even luggage. The historical part of the museum is represented by the first Russian steam engine, which was developed by the father and son Cherepanov. However, this exposure is not limited to "old" exhibits. Visitors to the museum can get acquainted with modern rail achievements. For this purpose, detailed information on the construction of the first highways is presented here, the history of education and the commissioning of the Perm and Ural Gornozavodskaya lines, and so on are told. It is worth noting that the museum staff in creating expositions sought to reflect the historical and technical data in chronological order.
additional information
В Екатеринбургском музее истории, науки и техники layouts and models of rolling stock are widely represented. In addition, there are collections of visual exhibits. For example, visitors can familiarize themselves with the workplace of the locomotive driver L11. In addition, everyone is invited to explore the mechanisms, tools and various devices used in the railway industry.
Conclusion
Business card is considered to be SvZhD roadMuseum of Ekaterinburg. Characteristically, the exhibits presented in it will be of interest not only to the adult part of the population, but also to young visitors. Gallery performs two functions simultaneously. On the one hand, even an uninformed visitor in railway science can easily perceive the technical part of the compositions. And on the other hand, all the objects of the gallery help a person to expand his horizons, and in some cases even decide on the choice of profession.
