The Circum-Baikal was called the "golden buckle on the steel belt of Russia". Initially, only one track was built; from 1911 to 1914 the construction of a second track was undertaken, which increased capacity of the Circum-Baikal to 48 pairs of trains a day.

As part of these works, considerable attention was paid to the construction of stations and station towns.
