History

Tomsk railway was formed from the Siberian railway, which in 1912 was divided into two parts: in the Omsk Railway  [ ru ] and Tomsk Railways. After the October Revolution Tomsk Railway came into Achinsk Minusinsk, first is expected to launch and Altai Railway  [ ru ]. The accession of the neighbouring roads allowed Tomsk railway eventually become the biggest longest and most powerful for the loads among the Railways of the USSR. [2]

In 1961 the Tomsk railway was united with Omsk railway and became the major West Siberian Railway. [3] [4]
