Novosibirsk railway station is one of the largest in Russia. It is located in the centre of the city of Novosibirsk.

Novosibirsk railway station is rightfully recognized as one of the symbols of the Siberian capital. The station is located on the main line of the Trans-Siberian Railway. In 1929, the Moscow Society of Architects announced a national competition to design the railway station in Novosibirsk. Forty-five projects were submitted for the competition, which were reviewed by an expert panel in Moscow in May 1930. The construction project was awarded to the engineer N. Voloshinov.

The architectural style of the building was intended to be laconic, in the constructivist style. Its shape is somewhat reminiscent of a steam locomotive heading eastward. The arched overlap of the station was originally supposed to extend over the station tracks in the form of a concourse lounge where there would be a waiting area with a restaurant and steps to the platforms. These plans were held over for future developments, although they were never implemented in full.

In July 1930, the city planning commission criticized the project, noting, among other things, the "insufficient area of the vestibule, ticket hall, and baggage office, and the unacceptable distance of the hand luggage storage rooms from the station entrances," etc. The project was handed over to the Kiev branch of the Giprotrans Institute for revision.

The foundation of the station building was laid in 1931 according to the revised project developed in Kiev. However, the architectural appearance of the station raised doubts among the management of Sibstroyput, the company carrying out the construction. The project was revised several more times – by the architect B. Gordeev, then by the architects G. Barkhin and A. Grinzberg, whose drafts were used for the final design drawn up by the Siberian branch of Standartgorproekt, which was finally approved in March 1934, and even then with numerous reservations and additional conditions.

The unique arched structure of the central hall was developed by the renowned engineer Nikolai Nikitin. Following a directive to change the "stylistic direction of Soviet architecture," a competitive tender was held in Novosibirsk to design the external architecture of the station façades. The final design featured a triumphal arch in the central part of the station, framed by pilasters and crowned with a large attic, hiding the reinforced concrete parabola of the vault of the main ticket hall.

On January 25, 1939, the State Commission accepted the station into service. It was the largest pre-war station building in the Soviet Union, with a total area of approximately 30,000 square metres. The edifice elegantly towers over the station square and is rightly considered one of the city’s best architectural monuments. On the western side of the platform, a small glass building houses a model of the Provorny steam locomotive, which operated on the Tsarskoye Selo Railway in the 1840s.

Work to adapt the station complex for passengers with limited mobility was completed in 2019, which included the installation of four lifts. The station complex includes a passenger building, passenger platforms, a concourse lounge, an underground passage across the railway tracks, construction and repair shops, and a garage. There are waiting rooms, a hotel, a children’s play area, automated luggage storage facilities, luxury lounges, a fast-food outlet, kiosks selling food, travel goods, and newspapers and magazines, a first aid station, and restrooms.
