Soviet Railways: Moscow-Leningrad Rail Line

Moscow — The country's railway company, Soviet Railways, has announced the construction of an important infrastructure project between the two largest cities of the Soviet Union. The Moscow-Leningrad Rail Line is a 656.6 Km (408 miles) double track that will connect Leningrad to Moscow and their respective industrial centers. The line is expected to have 4 stations, which will include a cargo and passenger sections on each, to allow for the transport of goods at one substation and the movement of people at the other, different substation.

In addition to the double track, the 408-mile route will include full electrification and the construction of various service stops along the way to allow for the efficient maintenance of trains and the tracks themselves. In general, this project will create a line that is modern and equipped with the latest technology available in the world today. This lane will not necessarily replace existing lanes between the two cities but it will complement the existing infrastructure. As a result, greater capacity and reliability can be achieved. Wherever necessary, the line will increase from the 2 tracks to 3, 4 or however many are necessary to accommodate traffic. This is expected to happen near and at stations.

The Moscow-Leningrad Rail Line is expected to cost USD$2.45 billion and take 2 years to complete. The corporation has announced that investors and technical expertise from the United States (Imperial Eagle) will participate in the project. The American side will finance the project with around USD$1.1025 billion for a stake of 45%. The technical expertise will help Soviet Railways in the planning and the construction techniques of the project. The corporation will operate the line with a for-profit nature and the American side will be entitles to profits equivalent to their stake in the project.
