Railway line Sosnogorsk - Troitsko-Pechorsk

Project Status: 
Железнодорожная линия Сосногорск — Троицко-Печорск

The Sosnogorsk - Troitsko-Pechorsk railway line is a section of the Northern Railway passing through the territory of the Komi Republic.

The project of the Sosnogorsk - Troitsko-Pechorsk line was developed by Lengiprotrans in the 1960s – 1970s. It was intended for the transportation of timber rafted along the Pechora River and processed at the constructed timber transshipment base in Troitsko-Pechorsk.

In 1961, the project assignment was approved by the Economic Council of the Komi ASSR. In 1975 the railway was put into permanent operation.

The line with a length of 162 km was built using diesel traction and semi-automatic blocking.
