Baltiysky Railway Station (Saint Petersburg)

The Baltiysky Railway Station in Saint Petersburg, built in 1855–1858 according to the design of architect A. I. Kracau, is one of the city's five terminal stations. The station building is symmetrical, with two-story wings on its sides: the right wing was used for ticket offices and baggage, while the left wing was intended for the imperial family. A covered platform canopy connected the wings of the building, accommodating two tracks and three platforms, and in 1955, the "Baltiyskaya" metro vestibule was opened nearby. In 1933, the first electrification of a section in Leningrad, from Baltiysky Station to the Oranienbaum-I station, began.
