The historical locomotive of the times of the Great Patriotic War is installed on the last station leading from the city to the Ladoga Lake.
During the fascist blockade of Leningrad, food was delivered to the besieged city along the road of life passing through Lake Ladoga. Trains traveled from Leningrad to Lake Ladoga. That is why the Finland Station worked all the days of the blockade.
The main workers on that railroad were women, because all the men went to the front. Women not only mastered all the railway professions. They also worked on rebuilding the railway tracks after the bombing: they made sleepers and laid rails. We lived in a hostel in the building opposite the station.
this is interesting
