History

The first railway line from today's rail network of the Kuibyshev railroad was taken in October 1874, the 500 km long line Morshansk - Sysran in operation. In an extension to the east of the track in 1880, a railway bridge across the Volga was built near Samara, 1888, the connection to Ufa and 1892 was completed to Chelyabinsk. The national operator of the network was called from 1890 Samara Slatouster railroad. Until 1919, when the Company was also assigned to the rail network of the Western Urals, created a number of other routes, including between Sysran and Simbirsk, where another Volga Bridge.

As of 1943, the most important links of the network were electrified in stages. In 1971 the Kuibyshev railroad was awarded the Order of Lenin.
