Railway renovation discussed. It was discussed during the meeting between the President of Mongolia and Minister for Road and Transport Development, which was held in the margin of the preparations for the expected working visit and attendance of the President in the Eastern Economic Forum to be held in Vladivostok, Russia. The President touched upon the matter of renovation of the Ulaanbaatar Railway, which had remained on the table for a quite long time. Initially, a loan of approximately RUB 100 billion is necessary for the foremost priority works. More works, such as the renovation of technical equipment and electric supply stations, have been planned. These works incorporate more details such as replacing wooden sleepers with concrete, increasing the number of intersections, and reinforcing the reserve of freight and spare locomotives, and add more railway carriages. In the absence of adequate renovation, the Ulaanbaatar Railway has reportedly been facing some problems in carrying the freight load, which resulted in stagnation of transport processes, shortage of carriages and incompetence in fulfilling the intended operations. Therefore, it has been mentioned during the meeting that the only existing corridor must be taken care of immediately.
