The Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) railway junction is a large transit junction of the Sverdlovsk railway.

In 1935 "Lentransproekt" (since 1951 - "Lengiprotrans") developed a general scheme for the development of the site. At the same time, the issues of servicing industrial areas were resolved, the role of individual stations of the junction was determined, the locations of the marshalling yards were selected, the specialization of the main tracks and their junctions within the junction was determined.

In 1940, certain issues of the operation of the hub were revised, in particular, the stations Sverdlovsk-Sortirovochny (now Yekaterinburg-Sortirovochny) and Sverdlovsk-Passazhirsky (now Yekaterinburg-Passazhirsky). The issues of technical and detailed design of the unit during the construction of the southern system of parks at the marshalling yard were resolved
