A railway administration with name Trans-Baikal Railway was the first time in 1901 with the construction of the Trans -Siberian Railway. It included at this time the entire route east of Lake Baikal, including the East-Siberian railway section today in Buryat from Missowaja.

The electrification ( with 25 kV 50 Hz AC) began relatively late in the Trans-Baikal Railway, with the commissioning of the section Petrovsky Zavod -. Karymskaja 1972-1974 Therefore, the Trans-Baikal section was the last one on the Trans-Siberian railway, on which still steam locomotives in regular passenger services were used. The work continued until the mid- 1980s and completed in 1994 with the closure of the gap between the last 129 km Silowo and Ksenjewskaja.
