Kudemskaya narrow-gauge railway, Narrow-gauge railway line in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.
Description
The Kudemskaya is a narrow-gauge railway in Arkhangelsk Oblast that once stretched over a long distance but now operates only a portion of its original route in regular service. The line uses specially designed trains to carry both passengers and essential supplies to communities along its path.
History
The line was established in 1949 to support development of the remote region during the post-war period. It has remained a stable transport system for the areas it serves since its creation.
Culture
This railway connects remote villages across sparsely populated lands, serving as a lifeline for communities that would otherwise remain cut off from each other. It reflects how local people depend on this simple connection to maintain their networks.
Practical
Trains run five times weekly and transport passengers, mail, food, and fuel between stations. Plan your visit by checking departure times in advance, as this service is essential for local communities.
Did you know?
The trains use specialized locomotives built for the 750-millimeter track gauge, making this railway a technical oddity. This narrow gauge allows the system to traverse terrain that would be inaccessible to standard railways.
