The first section of the Odesa railways (length 222,52 miles) from Odesa to Birsoy with a branch from Rozdilna to Kuchurhan and with a branch to the quarantine Wharf entered into force 3 December 1865. Next 13 years of the Odesa railways existed as an independent mechanism, and then became part of the joint stock company Southwestern Railways. First Odesa railway station was near the Alexis area.

With the growth of passenger traffic, it was decided to build trains, local traffic Rozdilna railway station, and using existing wrap station only long-distance trains. Dead-end station was built in 1884 in the region of the Italian Boulevard and the adjacent part of which was rebuilt in station square, and was named "Small station", and the existing one was called "the Big station". Also the route was built to service the military units located on the coast between the Middle Fountain and Lustgarten, later demolished in the 1930s. Constructed branch pomichna — podgorodnoe to pair with a vast hive of narrow gauge Railways of Vinnytsia. Then begins the construction of a branch line to service the Balts. Due to the difficult terrain the railroad was constructed a few kilometers South of the city, and around the station Balta rose village belino. Building a direct road connection between the city and the station required a large volume of earthworks. It was conducted a few years and for Oceania investment travel on the road for several more years after construction was paid. [1]

Rail transport in Israel includes heavy rail as well as light rail. Excluding light rail, the network consists of 1,384 kilometers (860 mi) of track, and is undergoing constant expansion. All of the lines are standard gauge and as of 2016 the heavy rail network is in the initial stages of an electrification program. A government owned company, Israel Railways, manages the entire heavy rail network. Most of the network is located on the densely populated coastal plain. Some of the rail routes in Israel date back to before the establishment of the state – to the days of the British Mandate for Palestine and earlier. Rail infrastructure was considered less important than road infrastructure during the state's early years, and except for the construction of the coastal railway in the early 1950s, the network saw little investment until the late 1980s. In 1993, a rail connection was opened between the coastal railway from the north and southern lines through Tel Aviv. Previously the only connection between northern railways and southern railways bypassed the Tel Aviv region – Israel's population and commercial center. The linking of the nationwide rail network through the heart of Tel Aviv was a major factor in facilitating further expansion in the overall network during the 1990s and 2000s and as a result of the heavy infrastructure investments passenger traffic rose significantly, from about 2.5 million per year in 1990 to about 67 million in 2018.
