RUSSIAN RAILWAYS
Russia is often spoken of as a great rail power because it has the largest railway system in the world. The total length of Russian railways is over 143,000 km. Russian Railways (RZD) carries an enormous volume of home traffic—nearly 66 per cent of freight and 37 per cent of passengers.
Old Russia could be proud of its railway scientists and engineers who constructed good steam locomotives and the passenger cars produced in Russia were the best in Europe. The Trans-Siberian Railway was thought of as a very important means of communication between Europe and Asia. The trains built for regular service on that line were made up of richly-decorated sleeping cars which provided many comforts for passengers.
Nowadays, the Russian Railway system carries about 50 per cent of the world's rail traffic. Most traffic is carried by powerful diesel and electric locomotives. Automation and computers are introduced into many branches of railway engineering. Particular attention is paid to its high-speed. Speeds of 120—150 kph are practical for the express trains. In the near future trains will run at 200 kph.
