Zavodskaya line is a cargo railway. The railway has been opened since May 1916 for transportation to the Sestroretsk armory. The rolling stock was leased from Finnish railways.
The start of World War I was the initial reason for the construction of the railway. The length of the rail passed entirely on territory of Russia.
The line partially uses old lines from the Sestroretsk spur line:
The line existed for only a brief period: after the Russian Revolution (1917), the Sestroretsk armory practically stopped production, and in the 1920s, there was a complication of relations between the USSR and Finland. The bridge was destroyed, and the line was disassembled. Later, the part of a line from the bridge straight across Sestra river was restored and was a part of the Sestroretsk direction.[1]
