Abstract
The study addresses the issue of the formation of the typology of Russian stations, the features of their design and layout, as well as the analysis of the mechanisms of operation and internal arrangement of station buildings by an example of Moscow monuments of railway architecture. The article concludes that the first Moscow stations turned in the second half of the 19th century, from the initially small, single-storey, simply-constructed buildings, into complex ensembles consisting of a variety of architectural volumes with a uniquely built intercom system.
