Brest-Tsentralny railway station

Brest-Tsentralny is the main railway station of Brest, Belarus.

The first building of the Brest station was built in 1886, and opened on 28 May in the presence of Emperor Alexander III.

In 1915, during the First world war, the station building was destroyed by the retreating Russian troops.

Visited Brest in 1949, Marshal Kliment Voroshilov, has contributed to the adoption of the decision on reconstruction of the station, which was held in 1953-1957.

[3] Because of the break-of-gauge at Brest, where Russian broad gauge railway track meets European standard gauge, all passenger trains travelling to or from Poland have their bogies replaced here to continue their journey and freight is transloaded from cars of one gauge to cars of another.
