Academician V.N. Obraztsov in the History of Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers (dedicated to the 150th birth anniversary)

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the anniversary of Academician Vladimir Nikolaevich Obraztsov, who largely contributed to organisation of domestic transport science and founded a scientific school of designing railway stations and transport junctions, and who was a leading specialist in the field of railway operation, a prominent public figure, and a Professor at MIIT. The professional and creative activity of a talented educator and scientist is closely connected to the history of the country’s largest transport university - Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers (MIIT), now Russian University of Transport. The stages of a scientist's professional path are examined using materials from the institute's newspaper «Stalinets». V.N. Obraztsov had worked at MIIT for almost 50 years, created a scientific school, trained dozens of students and was the head of the country's first department of stations and junctions.
