 The Moscow-Vindava-Rybinsk Railway was private railway, built between 1870-1904. The railway connectednMoscow, Yaroslavl, Tver, Smolensk, Pskov, Novgorod, St. Petersburg, Vitebsk, Livonia, and Kurland provinces. Thus connecting the centre of Russia's north-west and the Baltic regions of the country, as well as the regions of Siberia and the Volga region to the ice-free port of the Baltic Sea - Windau. The railway carried goods for export, including oil, flax, grain, timber and other building materials.
Here I present a series of  photographs taken in 1912, of the main railway workshops.
