Minsk Terminal

Minsk Terminal

Minsk railroad terminal, "Minsk passenger station" ( _be. Мінск-Пасажырскі _ru. Минск-Пассажирский) is the main passenger terminal in Belarus. The station was built in 1873 as "Vilenski vakzal", "Vilnius station" ( _be. Віленскі вакзал _ru. Виленский вокзал). The initial wooden building was demolished in 1890 and rebuilt in stone. During World War II Minsk railway station was completely destroyed. It was rebuilt in 1945-1946 and served until 1991. The new building of Minsk-"Passazhyrski" railway station was built in 1991-2002. Its construction was delayed due to financial difficulties. However now Minsk boasts one of the most modern and up-to-date railway stations in the CIS. There are plans to move all suburban rail traffic from Minsk-"Passazhyrski" to smaller stations Minsk-"Uskhodni" (East), Minsk-"Paudnyovy" (South) and Minsk-"Paunochny" (North) by 2020.
