Southeastern Railways — private railways under the unified management of the “Society of Southeastern Railways,” which existed from 1893.
15 June 1893 — Emperor Alexander III approved the charter of the “Society of Southeastern Railways.”
The board was based in St. Petersburg. Its first chairman was Collegiate Councillor (a rank corresponding to an infantry colonel), railway engineer Nikolai Iosifovich Kulzhinsky, who graduated in 1860 from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of St. Petersburg University and then, in 1862, from the Institute of Railway Engineers.
Direct administration of the operational administrative and technical divisions of the railways that joined the Society was carried out until 1902 by two directorates: the Northern Directorate in Borisoglebsk and the Southern Directorate in Voronezh. Later, management was handled by a single structure located in Voronezh.
In September 1918 — the railway was nationalized and transferred to the jurisdiction of the NKPS.
