Tayga (Russian: Тайга-Главная) is a major junction railway station on the West Siberian Railway in Russia. The biggest railway station of Tayga and one of the biggest in Russia.[3]
History
[edit]After the completion of the Siberian Railway in Central Siberia was an unmarked junction, where the railway went to Tomsk. Later the siding was called Tomsk-Tayozhny, and in 1913, was renamed into Tayga.
The design and construction of the station was attended by Russian engineer and writer Garin-Mikhailovsky.
After construction of the bypass railway and the construction of another station in the town of Tayga (Tayga-2) for a long time, the station was called Tayga-1. However, in the 1990s after partial disassembly of a bypass road and Tayga-2 conversion in the siding, the station again became known as Tayga (without a number).[4]
During the use of steam locomotives required much water. First it was acquired from wells and serving on the speakers using a typical water tower. But eventually the water no longer sufficed and it was necessary to build a water pipeline from the Yaya river, where a dam and a pumping station were built.[5]
