Scheme of the Moscow Little Ring Railway reconstruction
Reconstruction of MKZD, which is a unique project not only for Moscow but for the entire Russia.

The most significant junction is the Moscow railway junction which is the largest in Europe. In 1980-1984 Mosgiprotrans performed one of the most difficult and interesting tasks which was to design the General scheme of the Moscow railway junction development that was used to enhance the junction step by step in the following decades. Regarding the General scheme the institute made a technical and economic assessment of the head sections enhancement: Moscow — Lyublino, Moscow — Biryulevo, Moscow — Odintsovo, Podsolnechnaya — Kryukov, Moscow —Zheleznodorozhnoe, and others; the assessment involved the construction of the third and the fourth main tracks with passenger traffic on them.

But the changes in social, economic, and urban planning spheres in the Moscow region, as well as prerequisites implied in the General plans for the development of Moscow and the Moscow region, required designing a new General scheme of the Moscow railway junction development in 2007 for the term up to 2020. As a part of the new General scheme JSC “Mosgiprotrans” worked out a plan on the improvement of the work methods inconnection with other modes of transport, and the development of technical facilities including:

  • rebuilding of the head radial directions and intrajunctional links, rebuilding of the Greater and the Lesser Moscow Railway Rings;

  • rebuilding and construction of classification yards and rail stations, their functions;

  • development and construction of passenger stations and technical-passenger stations, passenger facilities at the stations and the stops;

  • rebuilding and construction of freight yards and junction stations, their optimal location.

The introduction of modern work schemes with a centralized system of process control and a maximum mechanization of labor-consuming work made it possible to excel the best foreign stations in performance at such large classification stations as Orekhovo, Bekasovo, Gorkiy-Sortirovochniy, Agryz, and others. The institute worked a lot on automatic, telemechanic, and communication equipment on the railways: 16,000 switches were equipped with relay interlocking appliances, 8,000 km of automatic block signaling, 18,000km of trunk lines, 600km of radio relay lines, 65 communications houses, and 300 automatic exchanges were built.
