On November 11, 1867 railway service opened between Moscow and Tula. In 1864 the construction of the Moscow-Kursk railway began. On December 28, 1864 the government announced the continuation of the railway from Serpukhov through Tula to Orel and Kursk.

In 1867 a bridge was built across the Oka (engineer – Amand Struve). By 1868 the construction of the railway bridge over the Upu was completed.

In the middle of the XIX century the station square was considered the outskirts of Tula.
