Description

<p>

One of the earliest photos of Kyiv

depicts the arrival of the first train at the Kyiv train station.

Only one track was built at that time. Tricoloured flags of the

Russian Empire can be seen on the train and on the newly constructed

train station building. There are human figures on the carriages; one

can see an open carriage in the middle of the train.</p><p><i>Olga Martyniuk</i></p>
