For the English full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version).ABSTRACT The authors consider the issues of scientific and inventive activity of Russian scientists and engineers in the field of transport in the late 19th-early 20th centuries. It is shown that the increasing role of engineering and technical education in the country was associated with challenges of industrialization, in particular, development of the transport system. Domestic science has made a great contribution to creation of a vehicle on electric propulsion - main railway, city trams, and electric vehicles. Experimental work on the use of urban rail transport were performed by F. A. Pirotsky, a theoretical rationale for transfer of direct electric current over long distances was given by D. A. Lachinov, pioneering works of I. V. Romanov on creation of a suspended monorail. The Imperial Russian Technical Society organized the first international congresses and exhibitions in the world, which presented the engines for road transport and aircraft construction. Keywords: engineering education, Imperial Russian Technical Society, rail transport, transport on electric propulsion, internal combustion engines, history of science and domestic invention.
