The first container train arrived in Crimea via the new railway

The first container train arrived in Crimea, which went through the network "Railways of Novorossiya". This was announced today, April 21, by the Federal Agency for Railway Transport (Roszheldor).

"The first container train has arrived in Crimea, which has passed through the network of "Novorossiya Railways". The train proceeded from the Sverdlovsk railway according to a specially designed schedule. He walked more than 3,000 kilometers in less than 5 days. The final point of the route is the port of Sevastopol, where the containers will be reloaded onto sea vessels,"the message says.

Preparations for the launch of container transportation through the new territories began in February, and currently work is underway to develop transport and logistics routes for container transportation from the stations of the Kuibyshev, Oktyabrskaya, Gorky and Severnaya railways for the export of export products of Russian manufacturers to the ports of Sevastopol and Crimea.

"A new type of cargo transportation in containers has been launched on a regular basis. This is, of course, a new stage in development both for the Crimean Railway and for the region's economy as a whole," explained Mikhail Goncharov, General Director of FSUE Crimean Railway.
