Project Status:
The Vologda — Cherepovets railway line — a section of the Northern Railway, was put into operation as part of the Obukhovo — Vologda line in 1905.
The project of the second tracks on the Vologda — Cherepovets section was developed by Lengiprotrans in 1945–1954. This was due to the post-war task of restoring the country's heavy industry and strengthening the railways for the transportation of manufactured products.
