The Verkhne-Volzhskaya railway was built in order to connect the cities of Kashin (at that time the station of the Moscow-Vindavo-Rybinsk railway), Kalyazin and Novki station of the Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod railway.

Also, two more branches were to be built from Kalyazin.
The first - to the station Savelovo (then - run by the Northern Railways), and the second - to the city of Uglich.

According to data for 1914, the total length of the road was 332 versts (354 km).
Of these, the Kashin-Novka line was to be the longest - about 239 versts, the Kalyazin-Savelovo branch 50 versts (53 km) and the Kalyazin-Uglich branch about 43 versts (46 km) .

Because of the First World War and the revolution in Russia, construction was very slow.
During the years 1914-1917, the company built the Kalyazin-Savelovo railway line, which was opened in 1918.

The second "short" branch of Kashin-Kalyazin was also built.
The opening of this section closed the reserve route from Moscow to St. Petersburg, passing through Kalyazin, Ovinische, Khvoynaya, Mga.

In 1916, the price lists for the construction of the Kashin-Novki and Savelovo-Uglich lines were developed.
However, in connection with the same difficult financial situation in the country, the construction of the Savyolovsky radius from Kalyazin through Uglich to Rybinsk (designed in pre-revolution Russia) never began.
