Entry, frontal view; The existing Neorussian revival building facing Komsomolskaya Square was built in 1902-1904 by Fyodor Shechtel. The main departure hall beneath the fairy-tale roof connected directly into the boarding concourse. In 1910, its platforms and concourse were expanded by Lev Kekushev. Two major additions, in 1965-1966 and 1995, further expanded station capacity. Currently, the terminal serves around 300 pairs of trains daily.
