Highway for the development of forest areas in the North-West of Russia
Until 1965, on the Mikun-Koslan line, surveys and design of timber railways were carried out according to lightweight standards. Later, Lengiprotrans proposed to build a line as an integral part of the country's railway network along the general direction Mikun - Arkhangelsk. At the same time, it solved the problem of timber transportation. The proposal was approved, and three lines were included in the subsequent work plan: Mikun - Ertom with a branch to Koslan, Ertom - Karpogory and Karpogory - Arkhangelsk.
