Single-track railway line on steam locomotive traction with a baton method of intercourse
The railway line Weymarn - Chudovo - Budogoshch, designed by Lentransproekt (since 1951 - Lengiprotrans), in the pre-war years operated as a single-track railway line on steam locomotive traction with a baton method of communication. At present, the movement of trains from Weimarn station in the direction of Budogoshch station is carried out only through the Gatchina station in the direction of the Tosno - Chudovo - Irsa - Posadnikov - Budogosh stations. The mileage in this direction is 200 km. The railway approaches to the port of Ust-Luga, one of the largest infrastructural structures in the Leningrad region, begin from Weimarn station.
