Railway
line
is
a
subsidiary
of
the Russian
Railways headquartered in Yekaterinburg. In 2003 the Sverdlovsk Railway, one of
the most lengthy railways in the Russian Federation, marked the 125th
anniversary. The line dates from the late 19th century. The Perm–Yekaterinburg
line was opened in 1879, followed by the Yekaterinburg–Tyumen line six years
later. After the completion of the Yekaterinburg–Chelyabinsk and Perm–Vyatka–
Kotlas lines in 1900, the Ural Railway network was renamed the Perm Railway.
Its headquarters were in Perm. Since 1934 it is known as the Sverdlovsk Railway.
The Sverdlovsk railway passes through three time
zones and four soil-climatic zones. It serves Perm Krai, Sverdlovsk and Tyumen
Oblasts and the Khanty-Mansi and Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Districts. It is
used by over 12,000 enterprises, accounting for 10% of Russia’s total rail network
loading volume, including vital goods such as oil, nonferrous metals, timber and
construction materials. It is a vital part of the Trans-Siberian Railway and one of
the busiest railway networks in Russia. The Yekaterinburg classification yard is
one of the largest in Europe.
The full functioning main railway line length is over 7000 km. (7,153 km) The
main railway line has extended for a distance of about 15 thousand km from the
West to the East, while to the North its lines cross the Polar Circle.
The traffic is automatically controlled over more than 70 percent of the railway
length and the semiautomatic blocking is employed over approximately 20 percent
of the railway length. Many sections (nearly 2 thousand km) are equipped with
the centralized traffic control. The railway line possesses a multi-computer
organization, thus making the basic production and management computer
controlled.
