Talented workmen E.A. Cherepanov and M.E. Cherepanov, constructed the first Russian steam locomotive at Nizhniy Tagil Works in the Urals. In August 1834 they opened the movement on the line. The Cherepanovs’ steam locomotive could haul the carriage weight of 3.3 tons with the speed of about 15 km/h. Alternatively it could carry 40 passengers. Later, in March 1835, the second locomotive was built. It could haul 17 tons of freight and the length of the new line was 3.5 km.
In 1834 Czech engineer F.A. Herstner; professor of Vienna Polytechnic institute came to Russia. It was him who suggested building a railway St- Petersburg – Tsarskoye Selo for common use. The construction of the line was begun on the 1st of May 1836. The average height of the embankment was 3 meters and43 wooden bridges were built along the way. Rails were ordered from England and Belgium. The length of the line was 27 km. Gauge was 1829 mm. Seven locomotives were ordered from abroad. The inauguration of the railway took place on the 11th of November, 1837.
This railway was soon followed by the construction of the St-Petersburg – Moscow railway. It was the first class double track line. The gauge used was 1524 mm. The work was directed by professors of St-Petersburg Institute of the Corps of Engineers P.P.Melnikov, D.I.Zhuravski and N.O.Kraft. 184 bridges, 19 viaducts and 69 culverts were built along the way. The line was under construction for 8.5 years. It was opened on the 1st of November, 1851. This line played leading role in the further development of railway construction in Russia.
