By order of the Ministry of Transport Construction of the USSR, Lengiprotrans designed the Chudovsky Reinforced Concrete Sleepers Plant (RCS). In the 1960-1970s, due to the growth of cargo transportation, the increase in the length and weight of trains, the used wooden sleepers began to be replaced by ZhBSh. The latter have a longer service life, provide uniform elasticity of the track along the length and stability in the ballast against shear.
The Chudovsky plant was commissioned in 1965. In 1967 he became a member of the USSR Ministry of Building Materials. Up to the present time, this plant has been producing the entire range of sleepers and bars for turnouts.
