The route for "Sapsans" can go through Tomsk

Employees of the Krasnoyarsk and West Siberian Railway (branches of Russian Railways OJSC) are working out options for creating high-speed highways in Siberia, which are supposed to connect Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk and Omsk with the European part of Russia. The new highway can pass through Kemerovo or Tomsk.

Recall that in the summer Vladimir Putin suggested that Russian railways consider the possibility of extending the Moscow-Kazan high-speed highway to Siberia. “Maybe - of course, you need to think about it, calculate economically expediency - and you can continue to continue, up to Krasnoyarsk,” -

The railway workers “received the task” and are already engaged in pre -project study of the highway, the head of the Krasnoyarsk railway Vladimir Rhinardt told reporters on October 29. According to one of the proposals, the highway can go through Tomsk, another option - through Kemerovo.

Reinhardt noted that they most likely will not lay a new highway along the Trans -Siberian Railway. “It was built 115 years ago, its infrastructure will not allow to develop maximum speeds,” -
