The construction of the Lozova-Sevastopol railway began in 1872 using private funds  from Peter Gubonin. In 1873 the railway reached Alexandrovsk, and in 1874 it reached Simferopol. On September 15, 1875, the first train arrived in Sevastopol. As laying the line to Sevastopol required traversing difficult mountainous terrain in the area due to the Makenzijeva mountains, six tunnels were built: Rusks (), Count (the shortest, at ), White (), Gypsy (the longest, at ), Trinity () and Urban (). The last two tunnels, opened at the beginning of the 21st century, are located within the city. The station building itself was constructed near the mouth of South Bay, on formerly marshy lowland that over the years was covered  by earth (and so was called "spit"). The original building was destroyed during the Great Patriotic War. The present railway building was built in 1950. Originally there was a monument to Stalin, but after the exposure of his cult of personality in the 1950s, the monument was demolished. Now there is a small fountain. Trains. From December 2014 to December 2019 the only trains to the station were the Simferopol—Sevastopol suburban trains, 5 times a day. On December 23, 2019 passenger trains from Saint Petersburg were launched. The newly opened route passes over the Crimean bridge. In 2020 the  route was changed to include Moscow.
