Transport infrastructure plays one of the primary roles in strengthening and maintaining state economy. Thanks to the development of railway transport in Russia, which transports large-sized and multi-ton cargo, the full-fledged operation of all sectors of the national economy, the supply of regions, industrial enterprises. Rail transport is of great importance for ensuring the economic security and integrity of the country.

Russian Railways

Today, Russian Railways is an all-encompassing transport system with thousands of passengers and freight. The actual indicators of technical equipment testify to the real prospects for the development of railway transport in Russia. It can be briefly described using the following data:

• operational length - more than 90 thousand km;
• total length double-track lines - more than 40 thousand km;
• electrified lines - about 40 thousand km;
• the length of the main routes is 126.3 thousand km.

Rolling stock and domestic railway facilities allow for freight transportation on trains weighing 10-12 thousand tons.

The railway transport network occupies a leading position among all modes of transport. Despite the intensive development of bus and air traffic over the past decades, Russian Railways remains the main tool for ensuring the mass movement of goods and passengers both within the country and abroad.

The first railway tracks

The history of the development of railway transport in Russia dates back to the middle of the 16th century. The first analogues of modern railroads arose in the territory of stone and sand quarries, in mine excavations and coal mines. Then the road was a stretching bed made of wooden beams. On such paths, horses could carry heavier loads than on ordinary country roads. The bars wore out quickly, causing the wagons to often go astray. In order for wooden beds to serve longer, they began to be strengthened with iron, and in the 18th century with cast-iron sheets. To prevent the convergence of wagons from the tracks helped the rims on the beds.

So, in Petrozavodsk in 1778 a cast-iron railroad was built, the length of which was 160 m. At that time, the gauges were built much narrower than modern ones (no more than 80 cm), and the rail itself was angular.

The period of development of railway transport in Russia in the first half of the 19th century is characterized by a more intensive pace. 30 years after the construction of the first 160-meter cast-iron track, a two-kilometer horse-drawn cast-iron road appeared. A significant leap in the history of the development of railway transport in Russia occurred in the period from the second half of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century.

So, in 1913, the mileage of the railroad network within the current borders of the country reached almost 72 thousand km. At the same time, the paths were placed randomly and unevenly. The predominant part of the roads was in the European part of Russia. The locomotive fleet consisted of low-power steam locomotives (500-600 hp), and two-axle freight cars had an average load capacity of 15 tons.

Development strategies for Russian railways

In 2008, the Government approved a concept to improve the railway infrastructure up to 2030. The strategy for the development of railway transport in Russia contains a description of a set of planned measures to create and improve railroads, improve existing and adopt new requirements for rolling stock.

This program is divided into two stages. The first was carried out between 2008 and 2015, the second was launched in 2016. The development of railway transport in Russia is based on the principles of increasing the resource and raw materials potential of the industry and introducing innovative modern technologies. The current Strategy implies the construction of more than 20 thousand km of roads by 2030.

To date, the construction of railways has already been completed with messages:

• Polunochnoe - Obskaya - Salekhard (about 850 km long);
• Prokhorovka - Zhuravka - Bataysk (the total length of the tracks is about 750 km);
• Kyzyl - Kuragino (460 km);
• Tommot - Yakutsk, including a section on the left bank of the Lena (550 km).

If the planned activities for the construction and commissioning of railroads are implemented, the total length of tracks by the end of the term will increase by 20-25%. The document defining the role of prospects for the development of railway transport in Russia focuses on the importance of this system of passenger and freight traffic for solving problems of strengthening economic sovereignty, national security and increasing the level of defense capability. In addition, the above Strategy implies a reduction in total costs in the transport segment of the national economy. An interesting detail in this context is that this kind of plan, which is being implemented in parallel with the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation, was drawn up and approved exclusively for the development of railway transport in Russia.

The real state of affairs in the railway infrastructure

In recent years, Russian railways have seen a decline in production and a decline in labor productivity. The rolling stock used not only prevents an increase in freight turnover, but also contributes to an increase in the number of accidents on the tracks. Urgent reconstruction and overhaul is required for a significant number of stations and railway stations.

Today, the railways of our country operate trains, wagons, locomotives and special equipment manufactured in the USSR, Germany and Czechoslovakia. The issue of production of new equipment is controlled by the commercial holding companies Transmashholding, Sinara, IST and the state enterprise Uralvagonzavod. Over the past ten years, the rolling stock on the most popular Moscow-St. Petersburg and St. Petersburg-Helsinki routes has been replenished with high-speed trains from the German company Siemens and the French manufacturer Alstom.

The main player on which the prospects for the development of railway transport in Russia depend is Russian Railways. The companies of this largest holding in the country own their own railway infrastructure, a fleet of wagons and rolling stock.

Cargo transportation on Russian Railways

In Russia, there are several types of freight traffic on rail tracks:

• local - within one route;
• direct - within the boundaries of one or more railway junctions according to a single travel document;
• direct mixed - means combined transportation by several modes of transport (in addition to rail, water, road, air, water-car, etc. can be used);
• direct international - is carried out when cargo is transported on sections of roads of two or several states under a single document.

Features of the development of railway transport in Russia, engaged in the transportation of goods, are differences in the speed of delivery. Thus, the main part of freight trains is engaged in the transportation of goods for which specific transportation conditions are not required. Cargo compartments in passenger trains (luggage compartments) are intended for the carriage of mail, correspondence, and personal belongings of passengers. For the delivery of perishable goods, high-speed rolling stock is used. The maximum allowable speed at which trains can move is 160 km/h.

Features of ground rail roads in the capital

The development of railway transport in Moscow may be the envy of other regions. Despite the demand for constantly modernized metro lines, it is planned to build and reconstruct about 80 kilometers of rail tracks in the capital over the next 2-3 years. By 2019, according to a representative of the Moscow urban planning complex, five new stations will appear within the city at once.

Despite the fact that just a few years ago, the intracity and intercity communication of electric trains in Moscow was considered outdated and inefficient, today experts say that land-based railways are capable of providing the same carrying capacity, the same passenger traffic in terms of frequency, traffic volumes and comfort that metro. In addition, the authorities of the capital are confident that the construction of railways is a less expensive industry than the construction of the subway.

The length of the Moscow railway is more than 13 thousand kilometers, despite the fact that this type of transport serves about 30 million passengers, which is approximately one fifth of the population of Russia. Another feature of the development of railway transport in Moscow is that the infrastructure goes far beyond the boundaries of the agglomeration and covers about ten subjects of the Central Federal District. The thing is that the railway of the capital was originally intended as an inter-subject infrastructure that allows solving inter-regional and inter-city problems of transport communication. Fundamental changes have taken place since the launch of the MCC.

Ring railway artery of Moscow

The central one, which launched the MCC, explained the success of the project by the appearance of the actual possibility of movement in any direction of the railway connection with a transfer. This system of commuter trains was created with the aim of integrating radial stations. Now Muscovites and guests of the capital have no problems traveling outside the Moscow Ring Road. So, for example, it will not be difficult to get from the Kazan direction to Severyanin by transferring to the MCC along the Fraser or towards the Yaroslavl highway.

Since the opening of the Moscow Central Ring, in less than a year, almost 100 million passengers have passed through it. Despite the increased popularity of electric trains, they are still used as an alternative and additional form of railway transport in Russia. The stages of development of the MCC are being implemented along the path of strengthening the integration of the metro with the surface railway network.

The main problems of railway in our country

Along with strengthening the industrial economic sector, there is a stage of formation and development of railway transport in Russia. The problems of this sphere are gaining importance against the backdrop of global trends in technological and technical modernization, the introduction of innovative developments in railway transport.

On the this moment it is necessary to strive to reduce the gap between the quality of Russian railways, rolling stock and infrastructure of foreign competitors. First of all, it is necessary to consistently solve the main industry tasks and eliminate a number of issues that impede the targeted development of railway transport in Russia.

It is necessary to proceed from the fact that the main goal of the functioning of the railway system is fast, convenient, inexpensive (that is, cost-effective) and safe transportation of passengers and delivery of goods not only within the country, but also abroad. The main problems of Russian railways as an integral infrastructure are two negative predetermining factors:

• lack of economic progress and efficiency in the provision of transport services, including a lack of speed of movement, a low level of comfort with an unreasonably high cost of passenger transportation;
• low degree of technical reliability and operational safety of trains, rail tracks.

The first group includes conflicts between the technological and managerial sectors, which nullify the expediency of the railway infrastructure and hinder the growth of its financial efficiency. The second category includes the complexity of technical production, equipment and operation: the problems of safe operation of equipment, technical means, the lack of a fully functioning model of labor protection for industry employees, and adverse environmental impacts on adjacent territories. These problems will only get worse as rail transport develops in Russia.

Briefly about ways to solve problems

To eliminate the described imperfections of the domestic railway infrastructure, it will be necessary to take a set of measures for its effective modernization, which guarantees the integrity and strengthening of the economic space of the Russian Federation, but at the same time does not infringe on the constitutional rights of citizens to freedom of movement. The current Strategy implies a phased solution to the problems of railway transport by creating conditions in Russia for achieving the fundamental geopolitical and geo-economic goals of the state. No less important is the reboot and renewal of the existing infrastructure base, which is fundamentally important for the socio-economic growth in the country. For the development of the railway transport industry, it is also necessary:

• ensure transport accessibility for points of resource provision and production progress;
• allocate additional jobs, provide employees of railway transport with social guarantees, including the right to annual rest, the right to treatment, education;
• bring the level of quality and safety of passenger traffic in line with the requirements of the population and international standards;
• ensure maximum carrying capacity and reserves to create the optimal number of offers in case of market fluctuations;
• continue integration into the international railway system;
• maintain a high level of emergency response skills that meet the requirements of defense capability and security;
• strive to improve investment attractiveness railway infrastructure;
• maintain social stability in the field and ensure a decent quality of life for employees, respect the priority of youth policy and support for industry veterans;
• to introduce high standards of labor productivity with a sustainable provision of the transportation process with qualified specialists.

Is it worth developing railway transport?

In the age of all-consuming integration processes, the railway infrastructure has acquired the status of a mechanism, a kind of lever for the division of labor. In addition, the railway sector can be considered as a strategic object of the impact of globalization processes in the world. Russian railways are also a science-intensive theoretical area of ​​economics. In order to maintain the achieved positions and continue to improve the infrastructure, it is important to create all conditions for the latest scientific and technical developments in the country.

Railways in Russia are increased by several thousand kilometers every year. The sphere of railway transport is an integral segment of the modern economy of developed countries.

Transport plays a large and important role in the system of social production. The transport system is a complex complex of various branched communication routes, conditionally divided into two types: main and intra-production. Rail transport is undoubtedly the leading link in the transport system and ranks first among other types of passenger and freight transportation.

Rail transport in Russian Federation is an integral part of the unified transport system of the Russian Federation. Rail transport is one of the most important basic sectors of the economy. It plays a key role in providing for the needs of the population and in the movement of products of economic activity of enterprises. Given the vast expanses of Russia, railways are the guarantor of the country's economic and social development, economic reforms, strengthening of the administrative and political integrity, and the normal functioning of Russia's complex economic complex.

The leading importance of railway transport is due to two factors: technical and economic advantages over most other modes of transport and the coincidence of the direction and capacity of the main transport and economic inter-regional and interstate relations of Russia with the configuration, throughput and carrying capacity of railway lines (unlike river and sea transport). This is also due to the geographical features of our country. The length of railways in Russia (87 thousand km.) Is less than in the USA and Canada, but the work performed by them is greater than in other countries of the world. The main task of Russian railways is to provide reliable transport links between the European part of the country and its eastern regions.

The railway is the main economic link in the sectoral structure of railway transport. Its functions include the development of planned tasks for transportation activities, as well as the financing and development of the material and technical base of industry production associations in order to qualitatively meet the needs for the transportation of goods and passengers, improve the efficiency of transportation work based on updating equipment and reduce material, labor and financial resources. .

The economic and technological efficiency and functioning of industries, agriculture, and the activities of all structures with different forms of ownership depend on the coordinated work of railway transport. Ultimately, transport ensures the viability and vitality of society, the state and its economic relations and interaction with transport and the national economy of the countries of near and far abroad.

The railway network of Russia is divided into significant lengths and at the same time interconnected sections - 19 railways, which, in turn, consist of branches. Moscow is the largest railway junction in the country. In the European part of Russia, powerful railway lines with high technical equipment diverge from Moscow, which constitute the "main transport skeleton".

To the north of Moscow, such highways are: Moscow - Vologda - Arkhangelsk; Moscow - St. Petersburg - Murmansk; Moscow - Arkhangelsk with a branch from Konosh to Vorkuta - Labytnangi, as well as Konosha - Kotlos - Vorkuta. To the south of Moscow, the most important railway lines are: Moscow - Voronezh - Rostov - on - Don - Armavir. To the east of Moscow lie the highways: Moscow-Yaroslavl-Kirov-Perm-Yekaterinburg; Moscow - Samara - Ufa - Chelyabinsk; Moscow - Saratov - Sol - Iletsk. Within the boundaries of Western Siberia and part of Eastern Siberia, latitudinal highways prevail: Chelyabinsk - Kurgan - Omsk - Novosibirsk - Krasnoyarsk - Irkutsk - Chita - Khabarovsk - Vladivostok. From Samara - Kinel - Orenburg - the branch passes to the independent states of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan. In the south, the highway passes through Armavir-Tuapse and further to the Transcaucasian independent states.

Rail transport is characterized by a steady increase in freight and passenger traffic, which largely reflects the expansion of the rail network. In the structure of railway transportation, freight traffic prevails. The range of goods transported by rail includes several thousand items. Railway transport accounts for 37% of the country's cargo turnover.

For comparison:

Pipeline transport 24.0%

Sea transport 2.3%

Inland water transport 5.9%

Road transport 30.5%

Air transport 0.3%

In many indicators of technical equipment, Russian railways are not inferior, and in some respects they are superior to the railways of other countries. Railway transport plays an exceptionally important role in ensuring the expanding foreign economic relations of our country.

The current trends in world trade, the growth of the country's economy and Russia's active entry into world markets predetermined the high growth rates of Russia's foreign economic relations with foreign countries and increased the role of railway transport in their provision.

Of the total volume of export cargo transportation by all modes of transport, rail transport accounts for about 40%, and import - 70%. At the same time, transportation of export cargoes in direct rail traffic is 60% of their total volume carried out by rail, and in mixed rail-water transport - 90%.

Of the total volume, 125.3 million tons of export cargo and 7.7 million tons of import cargo were transported through Russian ports by rail in 2003, through the ports of the Baltic and Ukraine, respectively, 83.8 million tons and 2.1 million tons, in direct message 97.9 million tons and 08.3 million tons.

The volume of transportation of foreign trade goods in containers has significantly increased. In 2003, 241.7 thousand TEU were transported for export and 173.8 thousand TEU for import.

In recent years, measures have been taken to increase the transportation of goods in containers, by 2010 they will increase to 32 million tons, i.e. will increase by more than 2 times. The main indicators of the work of railway transport are: satisfaction of the needs of the national economy in transportation for a certain period of time, compliance with the terms of delivery of goods, car turnover, sectional and technical speed, sectional speed coefficient, average idle time of a car under one cargo operation.

In transportation, the most important indicators are also compliance with the schedule and timetable, the implementation of the passenger transportation plan. The traffic schedule is the basis for organizing the movement of trains, it unites the activities of all departments and expresses the plan for the operational work of the railways. The train schedule is an immutable law for railway workers, the fulfillment of which is one of the most important quality indicators of the work of railways. The train schedule should provide: meeting the needs for the transportation of passengers and goods; train traffic safety; the most efficient use of the throughput and carrying capacity of sections and the processing capacity of stations; rational use of rolling stock.

Quantitative and qualitative indicators of the work of railways are important for understanding their role and developing an optimal development strategy. They are also important for a correct, unbiased understanding of the place of rail transport in the overall transport system, and in particular the relationship between rail and road transport.

The transportation process in railway transport is regulated by the approved Federal Law "Charter of Railway Transport of the Russian Federation" dated January 10, 2003.

The scope of the Charter of Railway Transport extends to relations: arising between carriers, passengers, consignors (senders), consignees (recipients), owners of public railway transport infrastructures, owners of non-public railway tracks, other individuals and legal entities when using the services of public railway transport and non-public railway transport, and establishes their rights, duties and responsibilities. Management of the transportation process in railway transport is carried out centrally and is within the competence of federal body executive power in the field of rail transport.

The choice of an effective mode of transport in a competitive environment is made on the basis of technical and economic calculations, taking into account the specific requirements of the market for transportation. When using railway transport, it is necessary to take into account the following features and advantages of technical and economic characteristics.

The advantage of rail transport is:

1) Independence from natural conditions (construction of railways in almost any territory, the ability to rhythmically carry out transportation at all times of the year, unlike river transport). Modern technology makes it possible to build railways in any area, but the construction and operation of roads in the mountains is much more expensive than on the plains. About 70% of railways in the country have lifts from 6 to 10%. Large rises - from 12 to 17% - on the main roads are found in the Urals (especially on the Perm - Chusovskaya - Yekaterinburg line), in Transbaikalia and on Far East. The straight track and the flat profile of the railway line are efficient from an operational point of view. However, when designing a route, the path is often lengthened to approach large cities and industrial centers located away from the straight line. When choosing a railway route, the possibility of screes and landslides is taken into account. Unfavorable climatic conditions complicate the construction and operation of roads.

2) The efficiency of railway transport becomes even more obvious if we take into account such advantages as high speeds of rolling car traffic, versatility, the ability to master cargo flows of almost any capacity (up to 75-80 million tons per year in one direction), i.e. high throughput and carrying capacity, estimated at tens of millions of tons of cargo and millions of passengers per year in each direction.

3) Rail transport provides the possibility of relatively fast delivery of goods over long distances.

4) Rail transport makes it possible to create a convenient direct connection between large enterprises, which reduces the number of costly transportation of goods.

5) High maneuverability in the use of rolling stock (the possibility of adjusting the car fleet, changing the direction of cargo flows, etc.).

6) Regularity of transportation.

7) Possibility of effective organization of loading and unloading operations.

8) A significant advantage of rail transport is the relatively low cost of transporting goods. Of the factors affecting the cost of transporting goods by rail, the following stand out:

a) direction of transportation;

b) placement of cargo turnover (cargo density per 1 km of track);

c) the technical equipment of the line (the number of tracks, the magnitude of the lift, the type of traction - steam, diesel, electric);

d) the location of the line;

c) time of year.

All these factors depend on economic and geographical conditions. The economic and geographical features of the regions, which determine the types of goods, the direction and size of their export or import, determine transport links.

9) Availability of discounts.

The disadvantages of rail transport include:

1) a limited number of carriers.

2) low possibility of delivery to consumption points, i.e. in the absence of access roads, rail transport should be supplemented by road transport.

3) a significant need for capital investments and labor resources. Therefore, taking into account the large capital investments in the construction of railways, it is most effective to use them with a significant concentration of freight and passenger flows.

4) in addition, railway transport is a major consumer of metal (130-200 tons of metal is required per 1 km of the main line, not counting the rolling stock).

Specific quantitative and qualitative indicators of the work of railways include indicators of the volume of cargo transportation by rail by type of message: import, export, transit and local messages.

Transportation is an indicator that determines the volume of transport production. Transportations are distributed by types of messages:

1) local traffic - transportation between stations within the road;

2) export - sending goods to other roads (defined as the difference between departure and local traffic);

3) import - the arrival of goods from other roads (defined as the difference between arrival and local traffic);

4) transit - the transportation of goods received from other roads and following through this road to other roads. Transit can be defined in several ways: acceptance minus import, or delivery minus export, or total traffic minus other types of traffic (import, export, local).

Transportation for import, export and transit is called transportation in direct traffic. Two or more roads are involved in their implementation. Transportation planning by type of communication is necessary for the correct calculation of the turnover of wagons, as well as the operating costs and revenues of the road, because the road does not perform the same number of operations related to the transportation of goods in different messages.

When developing a transportation plan, such quantitative and qualitative indicators as:

Mileage of loaded wagons;

Run of empty wagons. The empty run of wagons depends on the distribution of productive forces throughout the country, in particular the areas of loading and unloading, the uneven movement in directions, the type of cargo and the specialization of the wagon fleet. Reducing the percentage of empty runs reduces the mileage of the rolling stock, as well as the work in gross ton-kilometers per unit of transportation. Consequently, savings are achieved on the maintenance of locomotive crews, fuel, electricity, the maintenance and repair of cars and locomotives, the required capital investments in rolling stock and the development of the network are reduced;

Wagon clock;

The mileage of loaded trains, the mileage of empty trains, the total mileage of locomotives, locomotive hours, gross freight turnover are all quantitative indicators. Quantitative indicators of the work of the rolling stock are used when calculating the need for car and locomotive fleets.

The quality indicators are:

Coefficient of empty run of wagons (to reduce the coefficient of empty run, it is necessary to use the loading of empty wagons in the same direction as empty wagons to follow to the maximum extent possible.);

Ratio of empty run to loaded run;

Dynamic load of a loaded or empty wagon (dynamic load depends on the structure of freight turnover, the wagon fleet, as well as on the distance traveled by wagons with small and large loads). Reducing the average dynamic load adversely affects the operation of the road. This leads to the fact that a larger number of wagons of the working fleet is used, hence more costs for repairs and maintenance. To increase the average dynamic load and, as a result, reduce costs, it is necessary to use wagons with the maximum allowable load, which makes it possible to carry out transportation with a minimum operating fleet of wagons;

Average daily mileage of a wagon, average daily productivity of a wagon. The decrease in the average daily productivity of a working freight car adversely affects the operation of the road. To increase the productivity of wagons, it is necessary, on the one hand, to reduce downtime, increase the speed of movement of wagons, and, on the other hand, improve the use of its carrying capacity. Moreover, measures to increase the productivity of cars should correspond to the economic efficiency of the work of transport teams;

Ratio of auxiliary mileage to lead and linear mileage of a locomotive, average train gross and net mass, average daily locomotive mileage, locomotive performance.

Qualitative indicators characterize the degree of use of the rolling stock in terms of carrying capacity, power, time and the amount of work performed per unit of time.

The value of quality indicators depends on the technical equipment of railways and their enterprises, the use of advanced technology, the level of organization of transportation, shunting and loading and unloading operations, and other factors.

Column 4 indicates the maximum length in conventional units for determining the length of the shunting train.

In column 5, the words "Enable" or "Do not include" indicate the need to turn on the auto brake in the shunting train and the position of the railway station employee who performs this operation (train compiler, chief conductor).

Column 6 indicates the position of the railway station employee who accompanies the shunting train during the reshuffle.

If necessary, the location of the employee accompanying the shunting train during the shift is indicated. If following the shunting train is allowed without escort, then "Unaccompanied" is indicated.

Column 7, depending on local characteristics, indicates the necessary additional conditions associated with the rearrangement.

56. Paragraph 3.9 of Model 1 (paragraph 24 of Sample 2) of the station's TRA specifies the procedure and norms for securing railway rolling stock on the railway tracks of a railway station and the procedure for checking the securing of railway rolling stock.

The calculation of the fixing of railway rolling stock is carried out in accordance with the requirements of Appendix No. 8 to the Rules. The required number of brake shoes can be determined using an automated fastening rate calculation system.

Sub-clause 3.9.1 of Model 1 (paragraph 24 of Model 2) of the TPA of the station specifies the norms for fastening cars and other railway rolling stock depending on the number of axles, the location of cars in the fixed railway rolling stock (group) and their weight characteristics, as well as the order of implementation these operations. These data are entered separately for each railway track and railway station park. The name of the park is written to the full length of the line.

Column 1 shall indicate the numbers of the railway tracks of the railway station, where it is allowed to leave the rolling stock without a locomotive, including the railway tracks of marshalling or marshalling and departure yards. After the number of the railway track, it is indicated from which end of the railway track the rolling stock (groups, trains) begins to be located.

When calculating the fixing in an arbitrary place, only the number of the railway track is indicated.

The presence of an average slope of a railway track of more than 0.0025 is not a reason not to include in this paragraph the norms for securing railway rolling stock on this railway track.

On separate connecting, exhaust and some other railway tracks, on which the railway rolling stock is not left without a locomotive according to the technology of the railway station, it may be prohibited to leave it, as indicated in the note indicating the reason, in this case, the fixing norms are not calculated and are not are indicated.

For main and receiving-departure railway tracks with an average slope of more than 0.0025, the fixing norms are calculated and entered, and the corresponding restrictions or prohibitions on leaving cars without a locomotive are indicated in the note. The note also indicates sections of railway tracks with slopes exceeding 0.0025, which do not have devices to prevent the railway rolling stock from entering the train reception and departure routes or the adjacent stage, where it is prohibited to leave the railway rolling stock without a locomotive.

Column 2 indicates the average slopes of the sections of railway tracks on which groups of cars are located, fixed respectively by one, two or more brake shoes to the full capacity of the railway track, for which the average slope along the entire useful length of the railway track is indicated. The slope values ​​are indicated in thousandths with an accuracy of one decimal fraction: in the numerator for column 6, in the denominator - for column 7.

Column 3 indicates from which side (depending on the direction of the possible departure of the wagons) the railway rolling stock is secured.

Column 4 indicates the presence of stationary devices for securing railway rolling stock on a given railway track with the number 1 (only at one end of the railway track) or 2 (at both ends of the railway track), which should correspond to the entries in paragraph 1.12 of the station TPA. The number 1 or 2 is entered only in the first line of column 4 and refers to the entire railway track. If there are no such devices, column 4 is not filled.

In column 5, in separate lines of the column, the number of brake shoes is indicated in ascending sequence up to the maximum number required to secure the wagons when the entire useful length of the railway track is completely filled at the maximum rate.

Regardless of the presence of stationary securing devices on the railway track, the norms for securing railway rolling stock with brake shoes are indicated in full. Below the norms (for one or several railway tracks), the weight characteristics of the railway rolling stock are indicated, at which, based on the actual slopes of the railway tracks, in addition to fixing with a stationary device, laying of brake shoes is required, indicating their number. In the event of a malfunction of a stationary device or for another reason that prevents its use, fastening is carried out in accordance with the standards specified in columns 5-7.

In columns 6 and 7, in succession, in accordance with the number of brake shoes indicated in column 5, the maximum number of axles in a train or group of cars, which must be secured with a given number of brake shoes in accordance with the norms calculated in accordance with Appendix No. 8 to the Rules, is indicated.

The entry in columns 6 and 7 of the number of axles (for example, 40) opposite the first brake shoe indicated in column 5 means that a group of wagons from two to 40 axles inclusive must be secured with one brake shoe. An entry in the next line against two brake shoes (for example, 80) means that a group of cars from 42 to 80 axles inclusive must be secured with two brake shoes.

The number of axles in columns 6 and 7 are written in one line opposite the corresponding number of brake shoes indicated in column 5, and when it reaches the maximum for column 6 (for example, 3), subsequent lines in column 6 are not filled in, column 7 continues to be filled up to the maximum the number of brake shoes for a given column (for example, 7).

Columns 8 and 9 indicate the position of the railway station employee who fastens or removes the brake shoes, the position of the railway station employee who gives instructions to fasten or remove the brake shoes, the position of the railway station employees to whom he reports on fastening or removing the brake shoes.

The item is filled in the same way in the case of fixing the cars with stationary devices from the local control columns or the chipboard of the station from the electrical interlocking post.

Fastening is carried out before the uncoupling of the locomotive, removal of the fastening - after its hitching.

The calculation of the number of axles fixed with one shoe, two, three or more brake shoes must be made depending on:

a) the location of the railway rolling stock in an arbitrary place on the railway track (excluding the "mountain" profile type);

b) the location of the railway rolling stock from the end of the railway track (from the traffic light, limit post) and / or on a separate section of the railway track (not at the end of the railway track).

The choice of one or more options for calculating the norms for fixing railway rolling stock for specific railway tracks is determined by the owner of the infrastructure, the owner of non-public railway tracks in accordance with the requirements of Appendix No. 8 to the Rules, based on the actual profile, operation technology and safety requirements.

In cases where, in accordance with paragraph 1.5 of Sample 1 (paragraph 3 of Sample 2) of the TPA of the station, the capacity of railway tracks is also calculated for another type of railway rolling stock (passenger cars, tanks, hopper-dispensers, etc.), for the specified type of railway rolling stock a separate calculation of the fixing norms is made.

For railway tracks, where the operating technology, as an exception, provides for the permanent abandonment of wagons on certain sections of the railway tracks (not at the end of the railway track), the calculation of the fixing norms according to the actual slope for these sections is carried out separately. In this case, column 1 indicates the boundaries of these sections of railway tracks.

All of these calculation options, including those taking into account one or more breaks in the railway rolling stock for the passage of pedestrians or the passage of vehicles, can be made using automated systems of the owner of the infrastructure, the owner of non-public railway tracks.

The procedure for braking cuts on marshalling railway tracks and removing brake shoes from under cars, as well as measures to prevent the exit of railway rolling stock from marshalling railway tracks in the direction opposite to the marshalling yard (exhaust), should be indicated in the instructions for the operation of the yard yard, which is application to the TRA station.

In subparagraph 3.9.2 of Model 1 (in paragraph 25 of Sample 2) of the TPA of the station, the employees of the railway station are indicated, who are responsible for checking the fixing of the railway rolling stock with brake shoes before accepting and handing over duty, indicating the railway tracks and parks.

57. Paragraph 3.10 of Model 1 (paragraph 26 of Model 2) of the TPA of the station indicates the places where brake shoes are stored.

In accordance with the working conditions of the railway station, the point indicates the storage places for the brake shoes used to secure the cars, their inventory numbers and the number at each point, as well as the employees responsible for their safety.

58. Paragraph 3.11 of Model 1 of the TPA of the station indicates the places for equipping shunting locomotives available at the railway station.

59. Paragraph 3.12 of Model 1 of the TPA of the station indicates the location of the wagon scales, the speed of movement along them and their lifting force.

60. Paragraph 3.13 of Model 1 (paragraph 27 of Model 2) of the station's TPA sets out the necessary instructions for shunting work at a given railway station, which were not included in the previous paragraphs of the station's TPA.

In the Model 2 station TPA, in paragraph 27, after setting out the mandatory items relating to train operation, additional instructions for shunting work are set out.

This paragraph states:

1) the procedure for performing shunting work with wagons loaded with explosive materials, safety measures and the procedure for the actions of employees in the event of emergencies (technical or commercial malfunction of the wagon and other malfunctions). If the railway station has instructions on how to work with wagons loaded with dangerous goods of class 1 (explosive materials) (appendix to the TPA station), reference is made to the specified instruction. This procedure in terms of the use of station railway tracks must fully comply with the requirements of clause 1.6 of Model 1 of the station TPA;

2) the procedure for the delivery and removal of wagons to public places: the procedure for coordinating check-in and check-out, precautions for arrivals during loading and unloading operations.

The procedure for the supply and removal of wagons and the performance of maneuvers on non-public railway tracks are set out in the instructions for the maintenance and organization of traffic on a non-public railway track, which are not included in the list of annexes to the TRA station.

The procedure for entering other information related to the production of shunting work at railway stations is established by the owner of the infrastructure, the owner of the non-public railway track.

61. Attached to the TRA station:

1. Scale plan of the railway station.

9. Statement of the occupation of railway receiving and departure railway tracks by passenger, mail-luggage and passenger-and-freight trains. A list of passenger, marshalling, freight and local railway stations is compiled (except for those where passenger trains follow the corresponding main railway tracks without entering other receiving and departure railway tracks), railway stations for the circulation of passenger, suburban trains and multiple unit trains, as well as for those intermediate railway stations, where the traffic schedule provides for overtaking or crossing of passenger, mail-luggage and passenger-and-freight trains with other trains of the same categories.

10. Regulations for negotiations on radio communications during shunting work.

Railway transport plays an important role in the functioning and development of the country's commodity market, in meeting the needs of the population for movement. It is the main link in the transport system of Russia and most of the CIS countries. The special role of the railways of the Russian Federation is determined by long distances, the absence of inland waterways in the main communications East-West, the cessation of navigation on rivers in winter, the remoteness of the location of the main industrial and agricultural centers from sea routes. In this regard, they account for almost 50% of the freight turnover and more than 46% of the passenger turnover of all modes of transport in the country.

The main area of ​​application of railway transport is the mass transportation of goods and passengers in inter-district (inter-regional), intercity and suburban communications, while freight transportation prevails, which provide over 80% of income. Passenger transportation by rail is dominated by suburban and local traffic (about 90% of the total number of passengers). Long-distance passenger transportation accounts for over 40% of passenger turnover.

The importance of Russian railways in the development of interstate relations with the CIS countries and international transportation is great. Historically, the railway transport of Russia, and then the USSR, developed as a single structure with the same, different from the western, rail gauge (1520 mm) and rational placement of technical equipment and auxiliary industries throughout the country. The total operational length of steel lines in the USSR in 1991 was 147.5 thousand km. After the collapse of the USSR, almost 60% of the total railway network, or 87.5 thousand km, went to the Russian Federation. The material and technical base was also torn apart, in particular, repair service, locomotive and carriage building. Currently, domestic production of technical equipment for railways (electric trains, freight and passenger cars) is being established, cooperation and mutually beneficial cooperation with the CIS countries and other states on these issues are developing. The density of the railway network in Russia is 0.51 km per 100 km 2, which is significantly lower than the density of railways not only in developed countries, but also in most of the former republics of the USSR (in Ukraine - 2.76 km, in Belarus - 2.77 km, Latvia - 3.60 km, Georgia - 2.2 km, Uzbekistan - 0.79 km, Kazakhstan - 0.53 km per 100 km 2). It is obvious that in Russia it is necessary to build new railway lines, especially for the development of large deposits of fuel and raw materials in the east of the country.

Technical and economic features and advantages of railway transport are as follows:

The possibility of building on any land territory, and with the help of bridges, tunnels and ferries - the implementation of railway communications with separated, including island, territories (for example, between the mainland and Sakhalin Island);

Mass transportation and high carrying capacity of railways (up to 80-90 million tons of cargo on a double-track line or 20-30 million tons on a single-track line per year);

Versatility of use for the transportation of various cargoes and the possibility of mass transportation of goods and passengers at high speed;

The regularity of transportation, regardless of the time of year, time of day and weather;

Possibility of creating a direct connection between large enterprises via access railways and ensuring the delivery of goods according to the "door-to-door" scheme without expensive transshipments;

Compared to water transport, as a rule, a shorter way of transporting goods (on average by 20%);

Relatively low cost of transportation compared to other modes of transport, except for pipelines.

Railway transport will continue to be the leading transport of the country, however, the pace of its development may be lower than that of automobile, pipeline and air transport, due to their insufficient development in our country. In addition, one should take into account the increasing competition in the transport market, technological progress and some shortcomings of railways - the capital intensity of the structure and the relatively slow return on advanced capital (6-8 years, and sometimes more). The construction of 1 km of a single-track railway (in late 1995 prices) under moderately difficult conditions costs almost 7–9 billion rubles, and in difficult climatic and geological conditions in the east of the country, it is 2–3 times more expensive. The cost of building a double-track line is usually 30-40% higher than that of a single-track line. Therefore, the payback of capital expenditures in railway construction largely depends on the capacity of the developed cargo and passenger traffic on the new line. Usually, there is more production per unit of investment in the development of railway transport (ton-kilometers) than in other modes of transport (under the current distribution of traffic).

Railways are major consumers of metal (almost 200 tons are required per 1 km of track). In addition, rail transport is a very labour-intensive industry, with labor productivity lower than that of pipeline, maritime and air transport (but higher than that of road transport). On average, there are almost 14 people employed in transportation per 1 km of the operational length of Russian railways, and 1.5 people in the USA, with approximately similar volumes of transport work.

The shortcomings of Russian railways should also include the still low level of quality of transport services provided to customers. At the same time, the good technical equipment and advanced technologies of Russian railways make it possible to remain a quite competitive mode of transport.

The main elements of the technical equipment of railway transport are a rail track with artificial structures, stations and separate points with appropriate facilities, rolling stock (cars and locomotives), power supply devices, special means of regulating and ensuring traffic safety and managing the transportation process.

The railway track is an earthen bed with a ballast prism made of crushed stone or gravel, on which reinforced concrete or wooden sleepers are placed with steel rails attached to them. The distance between the inner faces of the heads of two parallel rails on the sleepers is called the gauge. In Russia, the CIS countries, the Baltic states and Finland, it is 1520 mm. Most European countries, USA, Canada, Mexico, Uruguay, Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, the railway gauge is 1435 mm. This is the so-called normal or Stephenson gauge. In some states (India, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Portugal), railways have two types of broad gauge - 1656 and 1600 mm. In Japan, for example, medium and narrow gauges are used - 1067, 1000 and 900 mm. Narrow-gauge railways of small length are also available in Russia.

The length of the railway network is compared, as a rule, by the operational (geographical) length of the main tracks, regardless of their number and the length of other station tracks. The developed length of railways takes into account the number of main tracks, i.e. the geographical length of a double-track section is multiplied by 2. Double-track inserts on single-track lines are also taken into account. The total deployed length of Russian railways as of January 1, 1995 amounted to 126.3 thousand km. More than 86% of this length is occupied by tracks with heavy steel rails of the P65 and P75 types, laid on wooden (75%) and reinforced concrete (25%) sleepers and, mainly, crushed stone, gravel and asbestos (on the main tracks) ballast. There are more than 30 thousand bridges and overpasses along the entire length of the tracks, big number tunnels, viaducts and other artificial structures. The length of electrified railway lines is 38.4 thousand km, or 43.8% of the operational length of the network.

There are more than 4,700 railway stations on the Russian railway network, which are the main cargo and passenger points. Large passenger, cargo and marshalling yards have capital buildings and structures - stations, platforms, cargo areas and platforms, warehouses, container terminals, loading and unloading mechanisms, branched rail tracks and other devices and equipment.

Large technical stations house locomotive and wagon depots, enterprises of track service distances, signaling and communications, freight and commercial work, and centers of branded transport services for clients. Freight stations of cities and industrial centers, as a rule, are connected by a rail track with numerous access railway lines of industrial, commercial, agricultural and other enterprises and organizations, as well as with existing sea and river ports, oil depots, etc.

The railways of Russia have a powerful fleet of modern locomotives - electric locomotives and diesel locomotives, mainly of domestic production. They carry out almost the entire volume of freight and passenger traffic, including 72.7% electric and 27.3% diesel traction. The total fleet of locomotives in the MPS system in 1998 was about 20 thousand units. Among them are such powerful freight and passenger six- and eight-axle electric locomotives as VL60, VL80, VL85, as well as ChS7 and ChS4 of Czechoslovak production; two-, three- and four-section diesel locomotives TEYU, TE116, TEP60, TEP70, TEP80 and others

with a capacity of 3 to 8 thousand kW or more, shunting diesel locomotives TEM2, TEM7, ChMEZ, etc. Electric trains of the ER2, ERZ, ER9P and ER9M types, as well as diesel trains D1, DR1 and DR2, are used in suburban passenger traffic. To master high-speed passenger traffic, an electric train ER200 was created, developing a speed of 200 km/h. Work is underway to design and manufacture new locomotives and electric trains capable of providing a technical speed of 300 km / h (for example, the Sokol high-speed train). The current locomotive fleet provides an average section speed of 47.1 km/h for passenger trains and 33.7 km/h for freight trains. The average technical speed of trains is higher than the local one, taking into account the time of intermediate stops, by about 15-20 km/h.

The fleet of freight cars (more than 700 thousand units) consists mainly of four-axle cars of predominantly metal construction with a carrying capacity of 65-75 tons. Gondola cars (41.7%), platforms (10.8%), tanks (11, 9%), including eight-axle and boxcars (10.2%). The share of specialized rolling stock is insufficient and amounts to 32% of the fleet, including refrigerated cars and tanks. The container system is also underdeveloped, especially for heavy containers for intermodal transportation.

The fleet of passenger cars consists of all-metal cars equipped with four- and two-seater compartments, berths or seating sofas with combined (electric-coal) heating, fluorescent lighting and air conditioning.

All freight and passenger cars are equipped with an automatic coupler and automatic brakes, over 60% of freight and all passenger cars have wheeled bogies on roller bearings. In recent years, due to the economic crisis, the replacement and renewal of the rolling stock of railways has slowed down, as a result of which many wagons and locomotives that have exhausted their resources are in operation.

On the railroad network a large number of power supply devices (contact network, traction substations), signaling, centralization and blocking (SCB), telemechanics and automation, as well as communications. There are information and computing centers on all roads. The main information and computing center of the Ministry of Railways is located in Moscow. Transportation control centers (MCC) are being created, in large transport hubs - automated dispatch control centers (ADCU) for the transportation process.

The total value of the fixed production assets of Russian railways as of January 1, 1999 amounted to more than 230 billion rubles, of which

59% is the cost of permanent installations and 34% is the cost of rolling stock. The share of working capital is small: approximately 3% (in industry

25%. The predominance of the cost of permanent devices in the structure of railway funds reflects the specifics of this type of transport, the complexity of its financial situation during a period of decline in traffic volumes and a decrease in revenues that are insufficient to maintain a significant permanent part of the resources.

Railway transport in Russia is state (federal) property and is managed by the Ministry of Railways, which controls 17 railways, which are state-owned transport enterprises. The Ministry of Railways and territorial departments of railways carry out operational and economic management of the activities of lower structures: departments of roads and linear enterprises, locomotive and wagon depots, stations, track distances, communications, power supply, etc. In addition, the industry has a large number of industrial, construction, trade, scientific, design and educational organizations and enterprises, solid social sphere(hospitals, prophylactories, housing stock, etc.). In recent years, railways have gained greater economic independence, and many of their industrial and ancillary enterprises (car repair plants, industrial transport, construction and supply organizations) have separated from the system of the Ministry of Railways after corporatization and privatization (Zheldorremmash, Vagonremmash, Remputmash, Roszheldorsnab, Zheldorstroytrest, Promzheldortrans, Transrestoranservis, etc.). Commercial centers and rental enterprises, a banking system, Insurance Company(ZHASO) and other market infrastructure organizations.

Despite the difficult financial situation, a sharp decline in traffic volumes, limited budgetary funds, thanks to maintaining the integrity of the industry in terms of its core activity (transportation), Russian railways consistently meet the demand for transport services of cargo owners and the population. In fact, they work on self-financing, making substantial tax contributions to the state budget and ensuring the industry's profitability at the level of 27.9% (1998). Basically, many technical and economic indicators of the work of railways are kept at an average level without sharp fluctuations (Table 4.1).

As can be seen, the railway transport of Russia as a whole is a profitable sector of the national economy of the country. However, the decline in traffic puts the railways in difficult conditions. It should be noted that the decline in transportation is associated not only with the economic crisis and the decline in industrial production, but with increasing competition from other modes of transport, especially road transport.

The result of the decline in traffic volumes is a sharp decrease (almost two times) in the quality indicators of the work of railways - the productivity of rolling stock and labor productivity (see Table 4.1). Despite the decrease in the volume of work, the number of workers employed in transportation has not decreased over this period and amounts to almost 1.2 million people. Concern for the retention of qualified personnel and social protection of workers is, of course, an important circumstance. However, the economic situation requires a more flexible approach to the profitable operation of the industry, especially since labor productivity on domestic railways is several times lower than in developed countries.

From Table. Table 4.1 shows that during the period of market reforms, the costs of railways increased 4260 times without taking into account the denomination of the ruble, while income from core activities increased only 3936 times. This speaks to the groundlessness of the reproaches of some cargo owners, especially the fuel and raw materials complex, about excessively high railway tariffs that hinder the development of these industries. However, recently, through the conclusion of inter-sectoral business agreements and the introduction of flexible tariffs that take into account the cost of goods

and the transport component in the price of products, this problem is solved positively.

Despite financial difficulties, rail transport

technical reconstruction continues, electrification of individual

A program has been developed for the construction of a high-speed highway St. Petersburg-Moscow parallel to the existing line. A lot of work is being done on the reconstruction and construction of railway stations, the creation of centers for branded transport services for cargo owners, an increase in the number of branded passenger trains, the development of suburban transportation, the introduction of double-deck passenger cars, etc.

Measures taken by the state to improve the economy will help stabilize traffic volumes and improve the performance of Russian railways. This will also be facilitated by closer interaction between the roads of the CIS countries, which have been developing for many decades as a single infrastructure complex. Currently active work on the integration of railways former USSR leads the Council for Railway Transport of the CIS.

1. Introduction

Transport and the market are inseparable from each other, interconnected. Their interaction accelerates the development of each of them and thus the entire economy. The emergence of markets is impossible without transport. The development of the latter favors the growth of the marketability of the economy, the involvement of new territories and producers in the exchange process, and causes an increase in the capacity of the domestic market. From this we can conclude that the degree of development of transport determines the degree of development of the market, its capabilities. Transport, which is the most important component of the production forces of society, affects their development through its demand for vehicles, the instruments, materials, and components necessary for them. Investments in the country's transport potential increase not only industrial, but also consumer demand. The multiplier effect from transport investments then becomes an accelerator of consumer and overall aggregate demand, expressed in GDP growth.

In economic relations, a special place is occupied by transport with its various types, interconnected, interchangeable and in competitive relations with each other. Transport is one of the most important areas of material production. Transportation of various goods from their areas of production to areas of consumption is its main function.

Transport is a material carrier of links between regions, industries, and enterprises. The transport factor has an impact on the location of production, without taking it into account it is impossible to achieve a rational distribution of productive forces. Transport is also important in solving social and economic problems. The provision of the territory with a well-developed transport system is one of the important factors for attracting the population and production, as well as an important advantage for the location of productive forces and provides an integration effect. Transport provides employment for 6.3% of the average annual number of all employed in the economy.

Transport products (transport work) is the movement of goods and people, measured respectively in ton-kilometers (freight turnover) and passenger-kilometers (passenger turnover), the total transport costs of the national economy in the sphere of production and circulation are about 10% of the country's GDP.

The development of the transport system of the Russian Federation is aimed at better meeting the needs of the economy and the population of the country with transport services.

Rail transport is the main transport system of the Russian Federation. Without his participation, not a single resource, not a single factor of production can be reproduced.

2 Significance, the role of railway transport in the country's economy

The main mode of transport in the Russian Federation is rail. It accounts for more than 80 and about 40% of the total volume of freight and passenger traffic, respectively, performed by public transport. Railways, being the main transport system of the Russian Federation, are of extremely important state, economic, social and defense importance. They are required to timely, high-quality and complete satisfaction of the needs of the population, consignors and consignees in transportation.

Rail transport is divided into:

Public transport is a transport that carries out transportation

cargo and passengers, no matter who they were presented.

Trunk, or external transport carries out economic

transportation between producers and consumers of products and transports

passengers.

Departmental transport is a transport that carries out transportation of its own

departments or enterprises.

On-farm transport satisfies mainly

technological needs of production within individual enterprises.

Rail transport plays a primary role in the implementation of transportation. Railways connect all regions and districts of our huge country, which has an area of ​​17.8 million km, and in the absence of good roads, they provide for the needs of the population in transportation and the normal circulation of industrial and agricultural products.

Railway transport plays a leading role in the system of communications in Russia, railways are most adapted to mass transportation. They function day and night, regardless of the season and atmospheric conditions, which is especially important for Russia with its different climatic zones. Railways are a universal mode of transport for the transportation of all types of goods in inter-district and intra-district communication.

The length of railway tracks is 7% of the world, and the share in the world railway freight turnover is 25%, passenger turnover - 15%. In terms of the operational length of the tracks, Russia is second only to the United States, and in terms of the length of electrified roads and the electric locomotive fleet, it ranks first in the world. Such a powerful development of this type of transport is due to the huge size of the country's territories, the peculiarities of the location of the productive forces of Russia, and the intensive exchange of products and resources of all its regions.

The appearance of railways of national importance became a new stage in the development of commodity-money and social relations. They accelerated the development of production, the decomposition of natural economy, and contributed to the involvement of agricultural and especially grain-producing regions in the sphere of commodity exchange. They played an important role in leveling prices on the Russian regional markets. With the development of railway transport, the performance of the Russian economy has improved. The rhythmic functioning of the entire economy, the stability of its growth rates, and the level of balance of the entire reproduction process largely depend on its work, the timeliness of its delivery of people and goods to their destination. In the current Russian conditions, only rail transport is capable of making a breakthrough, which must be strengthened and expanded through the connection of all other modes of transport.

3 Advantages over other modes of transport

Features of this type of transport, its advantages over others: all-weather, high reliability, the ability to carry out mass transportation of people and goods at relatively high speeds and low costs. Under such conditions, only this type of communication could become the main transport, economic and national security of the country.

Rail transport has a number of advantages, which also determine its predominant development in the country. The industry is characterized by relatively free placement, reliability, regularity, versatility, regardless of the time of year, day, weather conditions. It makes it possible to carry out mass transportation of goods and passengers, which strengthens its advantages, increasing labor productivity, and significantly reduces the cost of transportation. In addition, it allows you to save liquid hydrocarbon fuel due to the wide electrification of traction. Rail transport is especially effective in long-distance transportation, and given the vast expanse of Russia's territory, it will in the future remain the leading mode of transport in both long-distance mass freight transportation, and medium-distance passenger transportation, and suburban traffic.

Railways, in comparison with other modes of transport, have a lesser impact on the environment and have a lower energy intensity of transportation work. The generally recognized advantages of railways over other modes of transport are efficiency (comparatively low cost of transportation), resource saving, environmental preference (in terms of noise and environmental safety), and traffic safety.

Technical and economic features and advantages of railway transport are as follows:

Possibility of building on any land territory, with the help of

bridges, tunnels and ferries - the implementation of railway communications and

divided, including insular, territories (as, for example, between

mainland and Sakhalin Island);

Mass transportation and high carrying capacity of railways;

Versatility of use for transportation of various cargoes and

the possibility of mass transportation of goods and passengers at high speed;

The regularity of transportation, regardless of the time of year, time of day and weather;

Possibility of creating a direct connection between large enterprises by

access roads and ensuring the delivery of goods according to the “door-to-door” scheme without expensive transshipments;

Compared to water transport, usually a shorter route

cargo transportation;

Relatively low cost of transportation compared to other modes of transport, except for pipelines.

3.1 Basic cargoes

The main cargoes of railway transport are coal (23%), construction cargoes (16.2), oil and oil products (15), iron and manganese ore (8.6), ferrous metals (6), timber cargoes (4.5) , as well as chemical and mineral fertilizers, cement, grain and feed, non-ferrous metal ores, ferrous scrap, coke, engineering products, etc.

3.2 Main cargo flows

The main cargo flows of coal are formed in the Kuznetsk basin, and significant transportation is carried out from Ukraine (Dombass) and from Kazakhstan (Karaganda). Coal is delivered to the Urals, to the central regions, to the Volga region. The main oil cargo flows come from Western Siberia, the Urals, the Volga region, and the North Caucasus. The bulk of timber cargo comes from the European North and from Siberia. The main cargo flows of ferrous metals are determined by the exchange of products between the metallurgical bases of the Central, Siberian and South (in Ukraine) and close ties with consumers: the Center, the North Caucasus, the North-West. Grain cargoes are formed in the forest-steppe and steppe zones and go to densely populated consuming areas.

4 Characteristics of the location of railway transport

The economic profile of the region, its specialization, and the degree of interdependence of industries usually have a very strong influence on the outline and structure of the transport network, its size and technical equipment, and the volume and structure of transportation work. The nature of transport in the region is also influenced by other factors, for example, the natural conditions of the territory, the level of economic development achieved by the region. However, the influence of economic and geographical conditions is decisive for transport.

The distribution of rail transport is uneven. The European part of the country has a dense and extensive railway network. Network configuration - radial - ring with the center in Moscow. The main highways depart from the Moscow railway junction in the direction of Donbass, Odessa, Baku, Kazan, Samara, Saratov, Volgograd, Tashkent, Minsk, Riga, St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk and other cities.

In the eastern part of the country, the railway network has a pronounced latitudinal direction with little branching. The main highway connecting the center with the Urals, Siberia and the Far East and having a length of 9332 km is the Transcontinental Railway: Moscow-Ryazan-Ruzaevka-Syzran-Samara-Ufa-Chelyabinsk-Irkutsk-Chita-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok. The Baikal-Amur Mainline was built: Ust-Kut-Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

Of great importance for Russia are the South-Siberian, Middle-Siberian and Turkestan-Siberian railway lines passing through the territory of Kazakhstan. The Tyumen-Surgut-Urengoy section operates in the meridional direction.

The predominant direction in passenger traffic is in two directions: southern (from Moscow towards the Crimea, the Caucasus) and eastern (from Moscow through the Volga region, the Urals, Siberia to the Far East).

The density of the railway network in the Russian Federation is quite low - 5 km per 1000 square kilometers, so the traffic density of the railways is very high. The most loaded railway lines are located in important directions: Center-North-West; Center-Ural; Center-Caucasus; Center-Southwest; Volga-Ural; Ural-Siberia; Siberia-Far East. The main powerful flows are coal flows. In recent years, railway construction in Russia has practically not been carried out. Only two fairly large projects are under implementation: in the north, the construction of the Arctic Highway (Labytnangi-Bovanenkovskaya) continues to ensure the development of Yamal gas fields, and in the east - the Amur-Yakutskaya Mainline (Berkatit-Tommot-Yakutsk) to supply the mining centers of Yakutia.

At the present stage, for the development of railway transport it is impossible to do without the introduction of scientific and technological achievements: the electrification of railways, the creation of high-speed lines.

5 Problems of development of railway transport in the Russian Federation in a market economy

The disadvantages include, first of all, the capital intensity

construction of railways and the relatively slow return of the advanced

capital (6-8 years, and sometimes more). Railways are major consumers of metal. In addition, rail transport is a very labour-intensive industry, with labor productivity lower than that of pipeline, maritime and air transport (but higher than that of road transport). On average, there are almost 14 people employed in transportation per 1 km of the operational length of Russian railways, and 1.5 people in the USA. with approximately similar volumes of transport work.

The shortcomings of Russian railways should also include the still low level of quality of transport services provided to customers. At the same time, the good technical equipment and advanced technologies of Russian railways allow them to remain a completely competitive mode of transport.

One of the acute problems in the industry is barter. Railway transport, more than anyone else, receives various commodity values ​​instead of money for services. At the same time, there are not enough funds to pay taxes, to invest in production, to settle accounts with suppliers, etc.

Railway transport has a complex system of cross-financing of passenger traffic at the expense of freight (passenger traffic is unprofitable), some cargo at the expense of others. This undermines the economy of the industry.

Many problems are associated with the collapse of the USSR and the rupture of transport and economic ties. The problem of irrational transportation in rail transport is also relevant, it is closely related to shortcomings in the location and development of production in many sectors of the country's economy.

However, there are also big difficulties. They are associated primarily with the deepening of the economic crisis, the decline in production volumes, and thus transportation and profits. This undermines their own investment potential. Also, a major problem is the high degree of depreciation of rolling stock with an overdue service life, which is about 60%, which does not allow their simple reproduction only at the expense of the depreciation fund. Often, a depreciation fund of two or three units of rolling stock is required in order to buy one new locomotive or wagon. This situation exacerbates the crisis situation of transport enterprises associated with obtaining a loan, mobilization and concentration of their own material and financial resources. A difficult task is also the purchase of new equipment, and, consequently, the development of new, more advanced transportation technologies, without which a way out of the crisis is impossible.

The purchase needs to be increased several times, since the annual need for freight cars is 75-80 thousand. Large investments are required in strengthening the track and its overhaul, as well as in the construction of second tracks in a number of directions, entrances to terminals and ports. The state of the track hinders the speed of movement of not only passenger, but also freight trains in a number of directions. The average speed of freight trains in Russia is approaching 80 km / h, while in many other countries it exceeds 100 km / h, and, in addition, they are switching to a high-speed passenger train system. Russian Railways are also solving this problem. We need locomotives and wagons that not only have a higher carrying capacity and speed, but are also economical in terms of electricity and diesel fuel consumption.

These costs in transport costs occupy a large proportion. Their reduction is an important reserve for increasing the competitiveness of railways. Russia is faced with the task of not only updating locomotives, wagons, modernizing tracks, but also building new railways. There are too few of them in our country relative to the territory and population.

Combining efforts requires the problem of internationalization of inter-farm relations. For these purposes, Russian Railways is building access roads to ports, acquiring shares in a number of them, including a blocking stake. The same applies to ferry crossings. One of them "Ust-Luga-Baltiysk-German ports" allows delivering trains to Germany, and then, possibly, further.

An important direction in the development of international rail transport is the cooperation of countries in which the track gauge is 1520 mm. The scale of this phenomenon, as well as orders from other states for the construction, design of railways and other works create conditions for the transformation of this corporation into a transcontinental one.
