In 1904, the line from Finlyandsky Rail Terminal to Flyugov post rail station was constructed. The engineer was P. A. Avenarius. In May 1904, this part was opened.[1]
Сatastrophic flooding on 23 September 1924 put the Primorsky Rail Terminal out of commission and all passengers were re-routed to the Finlyandsky Rail Terminal in 1925.[2][3]
By 1926, the line to Sestroretsk had been laid through Lanskaya station.[4] In 1929, the line was reconstructed. The stations Flyugov post and Serdobolsky stop were no longer required and they were dismantled. [5]
