Flugov post (Russian: Флю́гов Пост) also known as Flugov shunting loop, is a goods station in Saint Petersburg, built for delivering cargo from tram stations on the Flugov lane (now Kantemirovsky street) to Sestroretsk.[1]

History

On Tovarnaya line

The station was constructed as a branch of the Primorsky Rail Terminal to Flugov Post line in May, 1904 by engineer Pyotr Alexandrovich Avenarius.[2]

Catastrophic flooding on 23 September 1924 closed the Primorsky Rail Terminal. Another branch to the Finlyandsky Rail Terminal was constructed in 1925[3] and 1927.[4] By 1926, the line to Sestroretsk had been laid through Lanskaya station.[5] In 1929, the line was reconstructed. The station Flyugov post was no longer required and was dismantled.[6]

On Vyborg line

Flyugov Post was also the name of a station on the line between Finlyandsky Rail Terminal and Lanskaya, constructed in 1925 and taken out of service in 1934.
