The road was created in 1939 by the withdrawal of four branches from the Far Eastern Railway : Ruzhinsky, Voroshilovsky, Vladivostok and Suchansky. Management of the road was in the city of Voroshilov ( modern station Ussuriysk ).
The composition of the road included the Vladivostok - Guberovo (455 km) trunk line and the Manzovka - Platonovka , Manzovka - Varfolomeevka , Ugolnaya - Suchan - Nakhodka , Voroshilov - Grodekovo lines [1] . Access to large seaports of the Far East - Vladivostok and Nakhodka .
The main transported goods [2] :
- coal from local deposits (Suchanskoye, Artyomovskoye, Tavrichanskoye, etc.)
- products of the fish processing industry ( herring Iwashi , chum salmon , pink salmon , crab products in the form of canned food), including for export
- timber and lumber
- cargo of the cement industry ( Spassk-Dalniy )
- sugar products ( Voroshilov )
A significant proportion of loading into ice-wagons and the presence of a developed network of refrigeration units at the stations are associated with the transportation of fish products. For loading fish, the Primorsky Railway in some periods stood in first place among the other railways of the USSR.
In 1953, the Primorsky Railway was disbanded, all of its branches became part of the Far Eastern Railway [1] .
Since 1957, the Primorsky State Agricultural Academy (formerly Primorsky Agricultural Institute) has been located in the building of the former Directorate of the Primorsky Railway.
