Rostov-Yaroslavsky railway station

Rostov-Yaroslavsky (until 1904 was known as Rostov ) is the passenger railway station in Rostov (Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia) and a stop along the Trans-Siberian Railway.

History
The station was opened in 1870 on the Alexandrov - Yaroslavl section. The first train from Moscow to Rostov ran January 1 (13), 1870.

In 1958, during the electrification of the Alexandrov - Yaroslavl-Glavny section, the station was electrified with 3 kV direct current.



On October, 2020, a high-speed train "Lastochka" running from Moscow to Kostroma began to stop at Rostov-Yaroslavsky station, with the travel time of 2 hour 17 minutes from Moscow.

Terminal
The station's appearance has changed several times over its long history. Old-timers still remember a small wooden structure with a stone central part - a waiting room and two-storey wings connected by a gallery.

The modern building of the station was built in 1975. The townspeople call it a "ship" for its resemblance to a large ocean liner, miraculously moored near the railroad tracks. Above the station towers a spire with a rook, the symbol of the city. The building is U-shaped and has 2 floors. The average height of the main premises is 3.35 m, the height of the lobby and hall is 8 m. The total area of the building by internal measurement is 1881.8 m2.
