The station development project was developed by Lengiprotrans in 1978-1982. The head of the sorting yard of the even system was rebuilt with the implementation of work on the automation of the even-numbered hill, the paths of the reception parks and the sorting odd-numbered system were lengthened, the odd hill was automated; completed work on laying 7 additional sorting tracks in an even sorting yard.

The station is equipped with new technology: humps are equipped with car retarders, hump automatic centralization (GAC), automatic speed control system (ARS), hump programmable devices (GPZU), automatic blowing of switches, loudspeaker communication, information planning system based on a computer center ... All this made it possible to reduce the number of employees and increase the labor productivity of dispatching wagons per employee by 3 times.
