Kolpino Station

Kolpino station in the town of Kolpino, located on Voznesenskoye Highway, received its first passenger train on May 17, 1847, marking the beginning of regular traffic on the Petersburg-Moscow railway. The freight section of the station, located north of the passenger section, serves the Izhora factories, with which it is connected by access tracks, one of which was built in 1901. The central part of the station building, rebuilt in the early 1890s and reopened in 1893, was decorated with wooden carvings, and in 1892 the internal layout on the Moscow side was changed. The Lenin monument near the station is installed facing the railway, which was the result of the opinion of the Izhora workers, and the ensemble of the Station Square remained unfinished due to the 1953 decree on eliminating excesses in construction.
