Leningradsky railway station
Leningradsky railway station, Train station building in Krasnoselsky District, Moscow, Russia.
Leningradsky railway station is a terminal building in Krasnoselsky District, Moscow, displaying Renaissance Revival design with a central clock tower and symmetrical wings. The facade extends along Komsomolskaya Square and combines classical proportions with functional spaces for rail traffic.
Construction began in 1844 under Tsar Nicholas I and finished in 1851, linking Moscow with Saint Petersburg. The connection marked a turning point in Russian rail transport and encouraged exchange between the two capitals.
The name changed from Peterburgsky to Oktyabrsky and then to Leningradsky, reflecting shifts in politics over generations. Travelers use this terminal as a gateway to northern regions and experience the high vaults as an introduction to their journey.
Six platforms and ten tracks serve long-distance trains heading north, including connections to Saint Petersburg, Murmansk, Petrozavodsk, Helsinki and Tallinn. The halls sit centrally on Komsomolskaya Square and are easy to reach by metro.
Administration falls under October Railway rather than Moscow Railway, giving the terminal separate status in the capital. Konstantin Thon designed a twin terminal in Saint Petersburg at the same time, linking the two cities through matching architecture.
