Электрификация участка Свирь — Идель

In the 1990s, the electrification of railway tracks in the North-West of Russia was widely developed, in which Lengiprotrans took an active part. At the final stage of the electrification of the Northern Direction, the Idel - Svir section was designed with an alternating current of 27.5 kV. This became the final section of the electrification of the St. Petersburg - Murmansk direction of the Oktyabrskaya railway.
