Šiauliai is a junction station of the Lithuanian railway. The directions Kaisiadoris - Kretinga and Siauliai - Jelgava pass through it.
Immediately after the end of the Great Patriotic War, the Department of Plants of Lentransproekt (since 1951 - Lengiprotrans) developed a project for the reconstruction of the car repair depot in Siauliai.
The restoration of the depots, destroyed during the war, was an urgent task on which the operation of the entire railway transport depended. In this regard, design work began, as a rule, immediately after the liberation of the cities and was carried out at the restoration site by small expeditions made up of employees of the institute.
Simultaneously with the restoration, the projects provided for an extensive reconstruction of the depot on the basis of modern technological processes and equipment at that time.
In the same period, the Department of Units and Stations of the Institute developed a project for the restoration of the Siauliai railway junction.
