East. Point of attraction.
As a part of government task on modernizing the Eastern test site, Russian Railway commissioned a new large-scale project “East. Point of Attraction”.
The assignment to develop national program for developing Far East until 2025 was given by President Vladimir Putin in September 2018.
It is a pilot project for the comprehensive modernization of the railway infrastructure of the Eastern test site, where technical solutions are being developed to increase the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway for further use on the Ussuriisk-Nakhodka section of Far Eastern Railway and the implementation of «East. Point of attraction» project.
On March 16 the first stage was successfully implemented: 2 stations and a checkpoint were launched:
Station Slyudanka II (43 arrows) — CBI-EC
Station Angasolka (20 arrows) — CBI-EC
Checkpoint 5297 km (4 arrows) — CBI-EC
We thank everyone involved!
Soon we expect two more important launch stages ahead. We wish the engineering team good luck. We will inform you about all changes and new launches.
