Sestroretsk with its environs. Sestroretsk Seaside Railway
Tarkhovka
The seventh railroad radius is made up by the small Primorskaya railway, which has a length of only 26 versts along the main line (St. Petersburg-Sestroretsk), with two small branches: to Ozerki (station of the Finl. railway) and to Lisii Nos (steamship port in Kronstadt). <...> From Razdelnaya the railroad, as well as the coastline of the Gulf of Finland, turns to the north and, bypassing the Gorskaya station, reaches its terminus Sestroretsk at 26 versts.

The northern coast of the Gulf of Finland, from Lakhta to the Finnish border, is an excellent dacha area, which in recent years has been rapidly colonized along the line of the Primorskaya railroad, especially near the resort of Sestroretsk, where in summer there are up to 50,000 inhabitants. This colonization has also spread to the Tarkhovskaya dacha area - between Sestroretsk and the village called Lisii Nos (aka Gorskaya), a vast pine-forested area covering the Sestroretsk forestry district and the possessions of Countess Stenbok-Fermor in St. Petersburg uyezd.
