Design of the West Karelian Railway
Since the 1950s, Lengiprotrans has been developing a project for the West Karelian line, now part of the Oktyabrskaya railway. The transport development of the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was necessary for the export of timber materials that were used to restore the national economy in the post-war years. The road was also of military-strategic importance, since it ran along the state border.
After the completion of work on the Suojärvi - Sukkozero line with a branch to Lendery, Lengiprotrans began to develop its extension to the North of Sukkozero - Yushkozero.
The line was built and commissioned in 1970.
