Railway troops began the stage of forming an embankment for the second branch of BAM

During the reconstruction of the Baikal-Amur Mainline, the stage of preparation of the embankment for laying the railroad track began. This was reported by the press service of the Eastern Military District.

According to the report, the railway troops have started to form an embankment for the railroad tracks. The work is carried out in separate areas, freed from afforestation. At this stage, heavy construction equipment is used, preparatory work is faced with great difficulties due to permafrost and swampy terrain.

The second track is laid next to the already built railway tracks, the equipment clears sections about 50 meters wide, after which the foundation of the future embankment is poured, on which the railroad bed will be laid.

Officially, work on the reconstruction of the BAM began on August 12, but in fact they started at the beginning of this summer at 19 sections of the new eastern branch. In total, it is necessary to lay 340 km of railway tracks from Ulak to Fevralsk. The new eastern line is expected to enter service in 2024.

At the preparatory stage, the military erected modular townships with all the necessary infrastructure for the military personnel of the railway troops, thereby ensuring conditions in all sections of the line being laid. For direct work, the military is provided with the necessary equipment. Ten brigades of railway troops are involved in the work.

... work on the reconstruction of the BAM ... In total, it is necessary to lay 340 km of railway tracks from Ulak to Fevralsk.

It seems to me that the title of the article does not quite coincide with the content.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Yes, it is curly written. But it is beautiful (according to the author of this masterpiece of journalism).

[Sergey Valov]

Is there a second line being built, or is a second track being laid? These are two big differences.

[evgen1221]

No editors for girls.)))

[alystan]

As well as for the state (under the guidance of the guarantor) - some build, and others use (own).
That's how the railway troops are in this construction, in my opinion, none. The working hands are the troops, the money is the country's budget, the owner is JSC Russian Railways.

[Pessimist22]

Conscripts build, cheaply and efficiently, the budget is intact, and then the capitalists will earn, well, we will receive crumbs from taxes

[Rubi0]

And you just think about why mankind throughout its history is fighting for trade routes and the ability to control them ... Then it may become clear why. Won the United States is already on the Northern Sea Route stare, although there, as they say, the horse was not lying around, probably for a reason

[carstorm 11]

The roads themselves do not belong to Russian Railways. They exploit them.

host - JSC Russian Railways

JSC "Russian Railways" is a 100% state-owned company ...

[alystan]

Do you approve or ask a question?
The previous head of Russian Railways, who "safely" moved from his Russian Railways chair to the senatorial one, who is he for the "famous" Krasnodar head of the traffic police? made a feint with his ears and sits there and doesn’t blow his mustache.And no trials, no courts, let alone terms ...
And this is what Wikipedia writes:

It was formed in 2003 on the basis of the Ministry of Railways of Russia. 100% of the shares are owned by the Russian Government.

Not to the state, but to the government (like the Central Bank of Nabiulina) ?! And the Government, Karl !? That is why federal ministers have exorbitant salaries like Miller or Deripaska !?
Some run their own market JSCs, while others (on the sly) created "state" JSCs for themselves !? Well, of course, they do not intend to spend their billions earned through joint-stock labor on the construction / modernization of new / existing highways - let the state fork out once again and send a free slave. force (railway troops) and for budget money for new construction, and then they will quietly take everything ready under their wing ?!
In this they are great masters ...

Complete nonsense. Your conclusions.
The founder and sole shareholder of Russian Railways is the Russian Federation. On behalf of the Russian Federation, the powers of a shareholder are exercised by the Government of the Russian Federation.
You need to quote EXACTLY. Dividend money goes to the budget.

[alystan]

Dividends go straight into the pockets of shareholders, now try to search for specific data of these shareholders, I think you will not be able to.

When the shareholder is the state, how can shareholders be found?

[alystan]

Well, why ask me about this, contact Russian Railways directly.

second track, apparently
but most likely called the second branch, since the tracks are spaced apart

if the railway has two tracks, then it is two-track
like a road - two-lane
but if these ruts (lanes) are laid at a distance from each other, then they automatically become two single-lane (single-lane) roads.

it is natural to build a second track in close proximity to the existing railway. not possible for various reasons, the most important of which is safety

so the second track becomes the second branch

We have built roads like this all over the country. The two paths go next to each other.
And on the BAM in general, I did not quite understand. As far as I know, along the entire length of the road, the embankment for the second track was already made during construction. Now you just have to patch it up.

absolutely right
because they make two tracks at the same time
the situation with BAM is different; acting

... There is, of course, hope for the troops, but ... it's time, from battles, for that, for this, to proceed to planned, systematic work!

[Retvizan 8]

Well, God help our guys.

[Proton]

The second route began to be laid from the side of Ust-Kut back in 2012. The plan at Russian Railways was to completely complete the second line of BAM by 2025.
But "something" went wrong. At the moment, the second line could not even reach Severobaikalsk, and this, by the way, is only about 370 kilometers out of more than 4000 km ...
They put into operation the second adit of the Daban tunnel, the quality is terrible, but they reported and started the movement.
My father personally participated in the construction of a bridge over the Lena River. For 2,5 years, they completely built this bridge along with the bulls for the 2nd track. In our time, only the upper part of the bridge was being built for 7 (seven !!!) years!
The main root of all the problems at BAM is the low quality of design, the lack of experienced construction firms and, of course, bribery, which is blooming on a piece of iron. (A couple of weeks ago, an effective manager was caught red-handed in Severobaykalsk).
So if we discard the victorious reports, then the construction site, to put it mildly, stalls. For example, the Severomuisky tunnel has not yet begun, and this is a quarter of the entire BAM.

Russian Railways is not profitable:

[Proton]

I watched this video. After the presenter's phrase "Come to me on the BAM, I'll give you on the rails," I turned off this "masterpiece".
For us, BAM residents and their children, BAM is a milestone in life, our construction site. We love our road, without slogans and throwing caps.
Recently I was in the new (relatively) BAM museum in Severobaikalsk. When asked what you would like to wish the young generation, the construction site veterans said that they want each of the young people to have "their own BAM" in life, with their victories, difficulties and romance.
Something like this.

[Professor]

Although I have nothing to do with BAM, I looked with pleasure. I learned a lot for myself. Well, what landscapes are there ... FANTASTIC.

[Proton]

I agree that the nature is harsh and charming, Baikal is beautiful, the Severomuisky ridge, Kodar are impressive.
But most importantly, there are still serious and responsible people who can be trusted.
In the photo, by the way, is the Novaya Chara station, behind it is a part of the Severomuisky ridge. At one time, the Kazakhs built, so the station with its outlines resembles either a yurt, or the national headdress of the Kazakhs.
In Tynda, the station is in the form of a swan (Muscovites), in Severobaikalsk in the form of a sailing ship (St. Petersburg residents).

[loki565]

Well, you would have cited "rain" as an example, well, a very truthful and objective video)))

Categorical deserved opinion)) ehsperd from Israel!

[Boa kaa]

Well, that came to the point. 10 brigades of railway troops will receive incomparable experience in laying communications. And at the same time they will earn extra money. And this is good. But the main thing is that everything will be "right and on time" - as written in the charter!

[Normann]

Ну

denyushka will earn extra money

obviously not soldiers) And when it was different. And the news is good.

[alystan]

If only they would have been given the service forever, tearing it off from the Russian Railways. Then yes, everything would be fair!

[Yrsy]

They never paid conscripts in the railway. He served in Tynda, Chernyakhovsk, Bryansk.

[alystan]

It seems that he did not write anything about money, it was Normann (Normann) who mentioned this in a post above me.
I just think that the army should not be engaged in construction, and since it was obliged, it would be more honest and give it this very road to control.

[Bumblebee]

Very optimistic)) Today, what is being done on time? even an army or for an army?

[salad]

This is great of course) I have a question, what technique are they going to do this? ChTZ chtoli? Or DST-Ural?
These trachomas will drive 50 km maximum! Or are the BATs still alive?

[out of habit]

Komsomol members, forward!

[Cat Alexandrovich]

And the communists!

[prior]

The fathers built the first branch in much worse conditions.
Try now you kids.

[Antokha]

Previously, the word "construction battalion" was synonymous with the lowest quality of unfit for combatant Tajiks in a telag with a dirty shovel.
Now it somehow seems that participation in the construction of the army is a guarantee of speed and quality.

[alystan]

And you yourself served, if so, in which troops?

[rotfuks]

It is not clear what you dragged the construction battalion here. There is such an anecdote. An American sergeant tells the recruits about a potential enemy.
-The most dangerous troops in Russia are STROYBAT! They are not even given weapons, because they kill opponents with their bare hands. Or a shovel.

throughout the country, announcements are posted at railway stations, inviting people to work at BAM 2.0
