The first narrow gauge railway appeared in Russia in the vicinity of the northern capital in the nineteenth century. Built by Baron P.L. Korfom. The road connected the capital with the estate of the baron in the village of Irinovka.
By the name of the village, this road was named Irinovskaya. It was a narrow gauge railway. From this station peat briquettes were imported into the capital, intended for heating the city and the surrounding area.
In those days, when the Irinovskaya narrow gauge railway was opened and started to be used, the Vsevolozhskaya station was not built. This station appeared, three years after the opening of the road, on Vsevolozhsky Avenue. But a year passed, and the station building made of wood burned down.
A new two-story station building was rebuilt on the other side of the railway. A two-story building was demolished in 2007. From historical sources it is known that the train from St. Petersburg to Vsevolozhskaya station ran for forty minutes. For summer residents trains were launched at intervals of twenty minutes.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Irinovskaya narrow gauge railway was slightly expanded. The Vsevolozhsk platform was moved five hundred meters to the south, due to which this railway section became more direct.
