Разъезд 71, Railway station in Khilinsky Rural Settlement, Russia
Razezd 71 is a small railway halt in Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia, on the line running between Tarskaya and Zabaikalsk. It sits in a sparsely settled area south of Aga, close to the village of Bilchirtuy.
The stop was built in the late 19th century as railway lines spread through the Zabaykalsky Krai region. From the start, it served as a minor halt on a route linking remote settlements across the Russian Far East.
The name Razezd 71 follows a Soviet practice of numbering small railway stops instead of giving them a place name. Visitors arriving here find a handful of houses near the tracks and the open terrain of the Transbaikal region all around.
The easiest way to reach this stop is by train, as the surrounding area has very few roads. There are no services nearby, so it is worth bringing everything you need before you arrive.
The word razezd in Russian railway terminology refers specifically to a passing loop, where trains on a single-track line can overtake or wait for each other, rather than a conventional station. This means the primary function of the stop is operational rather than passenger-oriented.
