G'morning!
Yesterday my daughter and I were driving around the neighboring areas of the city. And we stopped in the settlement of Farforovsky Post.
This is a small historical quarter located between the railways.
Once in the second half of the 19th century, when the Nikolaevskaya railway (St. Petersburg - Moscow) was built, this station was the last one when leaving St. Petersburg. In the 1890s, three dozen two-story brick houses with apartments for railway workers were built here.
After the revolution, in 1926, a marshalling yard was organized here and more houses were built.
But wooden ones.
Of them, only two have survived, and one is already abandoned.
This quarter is like a time capsule. Many houses are abandoned, but people still live here, the descendants of those very railway workers. Trains pass close to the houses.
The owner.
