The railway’s carrying capacity to the ports in the Tatar Strait will double by 2025

“Russian Railways” (RZhD) opened traffic on the second reconstructed section of the Komsomolsk-on-Amur – Vanino line, part of the Baikal – Amur Railway (BAM) in 2024. Trains started moving along the second track on the Udomi – Oune section in the Khabarovsk Territory, reported the corporate Telegram channel.

A section of the railway passes through the Sikhote – Alin ridge. To secure the infrastructure, 15 culverts were updated. To expand the haul, railway workers laid more than 9 km of track and 12 turnouts, and dumped about 340 thousand cubic meters of roadbed, about 100 km of various cable lines were installed.

On the Komsomolsk-on-Amur – Vanino section, another 30 facilities are to be reconstructed in 2024. As a result, the line’s carrying capacity to ports located in the Tatar Strait will double by the beginning of 2025, from 40 million to 82 million tons.

As IAA PortNews reported earlier, the modernization of the RZhD Eastern range involves increasing the throughput of the BAM and TSR railways in 2024 up to 180 million tons per year. As part of the second stage of modernization roadmap, it is planned to introduce 114 infrastructure facilities by the end of 2024. For the third stage, Russian Railways announced the need to build 316 facilities to ensure the increase in throughput capacity of the BAM and TSR up to 255 million tons by 2032.
