Tayga (Russian: Тайга-Главная) is a major junction railway station on the West Siberian Railway in Russia. The biggest railway station of Tayga and one of the biggest in Russia.
After the completion of the Siberian Railway in Central Siberia was an unmarked junction, where the railway went to Tomsk. Later the siding was called Tomsk-Tayozhny, and in 1913, was renamed into Tayga.
In the design and construction of the station was attended by Russian engineer and writer Garin-Mikhailovsky.
After construction of the bypass railway and the construction of another station in the town of Tayga (Tayga-2) for a long time, the station was called Tayga-1. However, in the 1990s after partial disassembly of a bypass road and Tayga-2 conversion in the siding, the station again became known as Tayga (without a number).
During the use of steam locomotives required lots of water. First was mined using wells and serving on the speakers using a typical water tower. But eventually the water became too small and had to build a water pipeline from the Yaya river, where he built a dam and a pumping station.
