The Primorskaya line was the second line constructed by the Primorskaya railway, near St. Petersburg, Russia. It is now part of the Oktyabrskaya Railway and was electrified in 1952.

History

[edit]

Its first stage was opened on July 12, 1894 - the line reached Lakhta. Second stage was opened on October 31, 1894; the railway left on coast of Gulf of Finland opposite to island Kotlin and was integrated with a steamship line. Later, November 26, the same year, the third turn of a railroad line was opened. The line reached a final point - the cities of Sestroretsk[1]
