OREANDA-NEWS. The implementation of the project on the electrification of the Crimean Railway will take up to five years, the head of the Federal Agency for Railway Transport (Roszheldor) Vladimir Chepets told Russian media on Thursday during the meeting for the first train Moscow-Simferopol.
After the Crimean bridge, the railway from the city of Kerch in the very east of the peninsula goes to the northern part of Crimea to Dzhankoy, and, making a detour, returns to the southern part of the peninsula - to Simferopol, then goes to Sevastopol - a dead end station. The Crimean bridge and part of the road to Dzhankoy are not electrified, the road from Dzhankoy to Sevastopol is electrified, but the trains run on direct current, while on the other side of the bridge the railway networks operate using alternating current.
Railway traffic on the Crimean bridge was opened on December 23. Trains St. Petersburg - Sevastopol and Moscow - Simferopol will go to Crimea year-round; additional flights from other cities are expected by summer.
