It has the highest passenger throughput of all Moscow rail terminals, serving eastern destinations, including the [[Russian Far East]]. It is the terminus of the [[Trans-Siberian Railway]], the longest railway in the world. Its name originates from the ancient city of [[Yaroslavl]].

===History===
The first Yaroslavsky Terminal was built on this site in 1862, next to the Moscow's [[Leningradsky Rail Terminal|first rail terminal]].

The existing [[Russian Revival|Neorussian revival]] building facing [[Komsomolskaya Square (Moscow)|Komsomolskaya Square]] was built in 1902-1904 by [[Fyodor Schechtel|Fyodor Shechtel]]. The main departure hall beneath the fairy-tale roof connected directly into the boarding [[concourse]]. In 1910, its platforms and concourse were expanded by [[Lev Kekushev]]. Two major additions, in 1965-66 and 1995, further expanded station capacity. Currently, the terminal serves around 300 pairs of trains daily<ref>Russian: Энциклопедия "Москва", M, 1997 (Encyclopedia of Moscow, Moscow, 1997)</ref>.
