Tunnel Number 30 at Verst 59. Walling, 1900-1904. Creator: Unknown
Tunnel Number 30 at Verst 59. Walling, 1900-1904. In the second half of the 19th century, Russia underwent a period of extensive rail development that culminated in the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Akin to the great railroads to the Pacific in both the United States and Canada, Russia's transcontinental line was intended to supply and populate Siberia as well as deliver raw materials to the rapidly developing industries west of the Urals. This photograph is from an album of 56 photographs in the Collection of Documentary Materials on the History of the West-Siberian Railroad (1890s-1978) in the Novosibirsk Oblast State Archive. The album documents the construction of this part of the line, focusing on the engineers and workmen building tunnels and trestles along the route. The album was digitized for the Meeting of Frontiers digital library project in the early 2000s. Iz fotoal'boma "Al'bom postroek i vidov krugobai?kal'skoi? zheleznoi? dorogi. 1900-1904 g.".

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the monumental engineering feat of Tunnel Number 30 at Verst 59 in Walling, constructed between 1900-1904 as part of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. The second half of the 19th century saw Russia undergo a period of rapid rail development, with this transcontinental line aimed at supplying and populating Siberia while facilitating the transport of raw materials to industries west of the Urals.
The image is a glimpse into history from an album housed in the Novosibirsk Oblast State Archive, showcasing 56 photographs documenting the construction process along this crucial stretch of railway. Engineers and workmen can be seen toiling away to build tunnels and trestles that would eventually connect distant regions and foster economic growth.
