Almost all of the listed types of buildings arising from the construction of railways were used to a greater or lesser extent throughout the entire period under consideration.
Constructively, the evolution of locomotive buildings looks more definitely. If in the middle of the XX in. Premises with steam stalls were blocked by brick arches (depot of the Nikolaev railway, lines from.-Petersburg – New Peterhof, New Roads and others.), already in the 60s, this expensive and difficult type of ceiling is replaced by the undivided dominance of wooden and metal-rod farms of a triangular outline with various systems of arrangement of the elements of the grate. The use of metal farms was usually limited to overlapping forges in steam locomotive buildings, which was caused by fire requirements. By the end of the century, metal farms were wider in virtue of the same requirements.
In the first decade XX in. In the designs of steaming buildings, a shift was outlined in connection with the introduction of reinforced concrete in them. For rectangular in terms of multi -span buildings, flat coatings with a longitudinal location of the main beams and transverse lights began to be used, similarly as it was done in tram depots. Such, for example, a steam locomotive building on st. Minsk built in 1908-1909.
The roofs of these buildings were first metal, but by the end of the XX in., When it turned out that the sulfur gas stamps have a harmful effect on them, the roof from the tiles, apparently, because of the greater difficulty of their implementation, they still did not become predominant.
End floors of steam buildings, characteristic of the middle of the XX in., Subsequently, they were replaced by brick, asphalt, etc. Wagon buildings were a building most often with through routes. Some of them have reached huge sizes. So, at Art. Petersburg “Main carriage shed size 100×2.5 soot. covers five ways of passenger trains “. They were built from brick and wood, and sometimes had a frame of brick.
