It was founded as the Institute of the Corps of Railroad Engineers in 1809, renamed as the Institute of Railroad Engineers in 1924. It was again renamed the Leningrad Institute of Railway Transport Engineers in 1930 and named after Member of the Academy V. N Obraztsov in 1949, a name that it held until it received its present-day name in 1993. It was one of the first technical universities in Russia acting as a private military-type university until 1864, with only one department until 1917. A number of transport universities were established on its structure in 1929-31, including for railway and water transport, highway, civil air fleet, and transport academy. Among members of the institute were N. A. Belelyubsky, B. E. Vedeneev, Y. M. Gakkel, G. O. Graftio, A. N. Krylov, S. Y. Zhuk, D. I. Zhuravsky, S. V. Kerbedz, P. P. Melnikov, D. I. Mendeleev, V. N. Obraztsov, M. B. Ostrogradsky, G. P. Peredery, and E. O. Paton. The institute has its own museum opened in 1813 and now known as the Museum of Railway Transport. There were the following departments in 2002: mechanics, bridges and tunnels, construction, transportation management, electromechanics, electrical engineering, economics and social management, resident and nonresident (evening) courses, and correspondence studies. There is also a geological survey base and a Centre of Additional Vocational Education. Based on the Railway University is the only Russian Institute of Industrial and Mining Transport. The university is situated in the former Yusupov Palace built in the mid-18th century and rebuilt by architect G. Quarenghi in 1790, as well as in buildings specially rebuilt for the university by architects A. D. Gotman in 1823 and I. S. Kitner in 1893-95.
