Train station Lida
On February 14, 1883, Emperor Alexander III "deigned to command the Minister of Railways to proceed without delay to the construction of the Vilna-Rivne railway with a branch to Pinsk and connecting branches to neighboring roads." On May 12, work began on the construction of the Vilna-Rivne railway, which was supposed to cross the Lida district from north to south under the project. In autumn 1983, a railway bridge was built across the Dietva River at Dorzhah. In the spring of 1884, a land area of \u200b\u200b6.83 hectares between the city and Sloboda was allocated and purchased for the Lida station. By autumn, a stone-brick steam train depot for two stalls and a wooden station were built. In October 1884, the most complex object was completed - a bridge across the river. Neman at the village of Selets.
On December 30, 1884, "from the Vilnius side, the first train passed through Lida", the construction of a 320 km stretch of the Vilna-Luninets road was completed. The average cost of 1 kilometer of the road cost the treasury 43 thousand rubles - a very moderate figure for those times.
In 1885, the station began to operate at the Lida station. It was built from wooden logs, in the Russian style with carved decorations. At the station there were office premises, 130 m of passenger platforms, 20 m of indoor and 40 m of closed freight platforms, a water and water-lifting building. Passenger platforms were made of gravel and broken brick and flooded with lime mortar.
The first chief of the Lida station was the headquarters captain Andrei Andreevich Potulov, a participant in the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-78, an Orthodox. On August 1, 1885, Vladimir Konstantinovich Bilinsky was appointed assistant chief of the station.
In 1886, the Vilna-Rivne and Pinsk railways were merged into the Polesie railways. Management of roads placed in Vilna.
In July 1888, the Russian Emperor Alexander III rode along the Vilna-Rivne road in an emergency train of extraordinary importance.
In August 1897, a small Russian-style Orthodox chapel with four columns was built of brick on the south side of the station. Inside the glass was the icon of St. Nicholas, which in the dark was illuminated by lanterns.
The heads of the Lida station at the end of the 19th century were Lev Vladislavovich Zayonchkovsky (1887-88), Vasily Kuzmich Razkazov (06.16.1894-95), Konstantin Augustinovich Rozental (1895-1904).
In 1906, six trains passed through the Lida station: three to Baranavichy - ambulance number 1, postal number 3, commodity number 7, and three to Vilno: ambulance number 2, postal number 4 and commodity number 3. The trains stopped at the station for 15 minutes.
On January 1, 1907, the Polotsk-Sedletskaya railway was put into operation via Molodechno, Lida, Bridges, Volkovysk, Svisloch with a branch in Mosty on Grodno. This road was built for French money by the railway troops for 5 years (1902-1906). At the Lida station, the Polotsk-Sedletskaya railway connected to the Polesskaya railway.
In 1906, between the two railways - “on the island” - the second in priority and most architecturally most spectacular Lida station was built of brick.
The station was built in the "modern" style, had a room for the head of the station, a ticket office, luggage compartment, telegraph, waiting rooms for passengers of 1-2 classes and 3 classes, a buffet, male and female water closets (toilets) with washstands. The rooms were heated with tiled stoves. Exactly the same stations were built in Molodechno and Volkovysk. The author of the project is unknown.
Then at the Lida station workshops were built, a brick depot for 4 steam locomotives, wooden warehouses, a viaduct, three residential buildings, a telegraph, a water pipe was laid from the river. Lideika.
At first, the Polotsk-Sedletskaya Railway was subordinate to the management of the Nikolaev Road, in 1910 it was transferred to the Polessky Railways. The head of the new station was appointed honorary citizen Alexander Alexandrovich Vinogradov (1907-1910). The head of the depot was Nikolai Fedorovich Zenkovich (1908-15), an Orthodox nobleman who graduated from a technical railway school. Locomotive master - Leon Eduardovich Rutkovsky (1909). Warehouse keeper - Mikhail Grigoryevich Kornilo (1915), from the peasants.
On the Polotsk-Sedletskaya road, a train of 4 cars “ran”: blue class 1, golden yellow class 2 and 2 green class 3 cars. The train ran from Polotsk to Lida in 10 hours, from Molodechno - in 3.5 - 4 hours.
On October 7, 1907, the famous Russian poet Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880-1921) gave a telegram to his wife from Kiev to St. Petersburg from the Lida station: “Eight morning we will come from Borey Sasha.” Borya is Andrei Bely, real name Boris Nikolayevich Bugaev (1880-1934) - writer, poet, one of the leading figures in Russian symbolism and modernism.
A week before Russia entered the First World War, a telegraph announcement was posted at the Lida station that the railway relinquished all responsibility for the timely delivery of goods. The next day, July 13 (26), one of the battalions of the Lida regiment returned from the Oran military training grounds and immediately took control of the railway. All roads, bridges, railway buildings and institutions were furnished with armed soldiers, the exit to the platform is closed. July 19 (August 1) 1914 Germany declared war on Russia. “On the railway, all passenger trains passing through Lida were canceled. Brigades of drivers, conductors and all kinds of railway specialists, as well as many locomotives arrived in Lida from other railways. Day and night, military trains rushed from east to west without interruption. With a 12-hour delay, the mail trains barely squeezed through tightly-packed tracks. ”
On Thursday July 24 (August 6), 1914, the 172nd Lida Infantry Regiment in the amount of 4,000 bayonets with music went from the barracks of the Northern Town to the train station, plunged into trains and departed for the front. From July 26 to July 31 (August 8–13), corps detachments of the 4th aviation company, based in the Southern Town, went to the front by rail.
In early 1915, the German army went on the offensive on the Eastern Front. In April, the Germans made the Gorlitsky breakthrough, which led to the Great Retreat of the Russian armies. On May 5 (18), through Lida, without stopping, I traveled to Baranavichy at the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Russian Emperor Nicholas II.
In July, the Russian army began a general withdrawal from the Kingdom of Poland. In August, the Lida junction station “was impossibly packed not only with echelons of troops being transferred to the northern front, but also with trains that had taken artillery and state property from Brest-Litovsk, Warsaw, Osovts, not to mention many refugees. It’s easy, therefore, to imagine what was happening at this station. ”
On August 14 (27), Ilya Muromets aircraft flew to Pskov from Lida airfield, and property remained: workshops, cars, motors, machine guns, bombs, an anti-aircraft battery, tents, devices, documentation, etc.
“The construction of women helped a lot to remove the squadron’s property, since there were no male workers at that time, a small branch connecting the airfield with the station. True, the railroad tracks and rails on this branch were kept, as they say, on parole, but nevertheless kept the track, and three echelons, including one with a large cargo of airplane bombs, got on the station tracks, and from there a few days later stepped on "Molodechno, and contrary to all railway rules, other trains moved behind and in front of the train, about 200 fathoms between them."
Before the retreat, sappers of the Russian army blew up railway bridges on the river. The Neman and R. Ditve, a viaduct in Lida, burned the train station. In support of this, I will refer to the Quartermaster General of the German Army on the Eastern Front E. Ludendorff: “The Russians thoroughly destroyed the railways everywhere. Bridges across the Neman and other more or less significant rivers were blown to the ground, stations were burnt, water supplies were destroyed and the telegraph was felled. The canvas part was blown up, sleepers and rails removed. " The head of the Lida station in these years (1914-15) was Kazimir Feliksovich Yakimovich.
The report of the German command reported that "at night the Lida station was bombed." It could be a zeppelin Z 12 Leman.
On September 29, 1915, the headquarters of the 12th German reserve army was located in Lida. The army was commanded by infantry general Max von Fabek. German railway troops immediately began to restore the railway. We crossed the gauge to the European standard from 1524 mm to 1435 mm, repaired the viaduct.
The bridge on the river. The Neman did not rebuild; they built a wooden one nearby.
In the second half of May - beginning of June 1916, German Kaiser Wilhelm II traveled by train along the route Vilno-Lida-Slonim-Grodno.
On May 31, 1916, at the Lida station, the Kaiser was greeted by 10 ranks of soldiers of the 49th reserve division of the general and writer Friedrich von Bernhardi.
By the spring of 1917, the Germans tidied up the station, noticeably changing its general appearance by converting high arched windows into low rectangular ones.
In December 1918, German troops began to leave the territory of Belarus. The last German detachment left the Lida station on January 3, the Red Army soldiers of the 3rd Sedletsky regiment of the Western division of the Red Army entered the city on January 6 from Ivy.
The newspaper Izvestia, in its issue of January 30, 1919, reported that "a continuous alteration of the route along the Vilno-Baranovichi line is underway."
