Railway line Mointy - Kiyahty

Project Status: 
Железнодорожная линия Моинты — Кияхты

From the moment of its foundation "Lentransproekt" (since 1951 - "Lengiprotrans") was engaged in the transport development of the Kazakh SSR. The railways were intended for the development of deposits and virgin lands of the republic.

In the pre-war period, the institute designed the railway line Mointy (now Moiynty) - Kiyakhty. The site entered the direction Astana - Berlik-I.

The line passed through a desert area without any signs of water sources. The Kara-Kum desert is located to the south of Mointy station. These conditions made it difficult to design water supply and the placement of artificial structures.
