Modernisation continues


Russian Railways invested over RUB 18 billion (around EUR 200 million) in the development of the Kuzbass region of West Siberian Railways in 2020. This is around 60% more than the total for 2019.

 

The investment enabled the most important sections of 135 km of railtracks to be modernised and the purchase of 63 new main-line electric locomotives and 13 diesel shunting locomotives.

 

Part of the investment was aimed at upgrading the equipment of the energy complex. RZD also continued, inter alia, its programme to increase the capacity of the Artyshta–Mezhdurechensk section, the company said. (ben)
