In 1846, a Belgian engineer Zuber began developing the initial draft of the railway between Odessa and Tiraspol. The construction of the railway to the Tiraspol began in the second half of the 1860s. In 1867, the railway line was built from Razdelnaya to Tiraspol. By the end of 1867 in Tiraspol was built a railway station.^[3]
