Baku-Moscow railway traffic completely resumed

Heavy rainfall in the territory of Russia in the interval between the station Gizilyurd and Dagestan's capital of Makhachkala washed out railways. According to the North-Caucasian railway, heavy rains overflowed the reservoir and the channel of the October Revolution, which led to the break of dam. Then the water came to the vicinity of railway tracks. Azmammadov said that currently the damaged railroads in the North Caucasus were restored. But the movement of trains in the interval between Gizilyurd and Makhachkala is ensured using diesel locomotives. Supply of electricity to the railway station is expected to be restored by the end of the day. Currently trains from Azerbaijan to Russia move in accordance with the schedule, but trains from Russia to Azerbaijan will arrive in Baku with a slight delay. The timetable of movement of trains between the countries is supposed to be completely restored by the end of Tuesday. Earlier the transportation of passengers traveling from Azerbaijan to Russia and vice versa at the station with a strained infrastructure was provided by buses. Passengers were removed from the trains to buses, thus continued their movement. Also as a result of heavy rains in the area between stations Pirsaat-Hajigabul in Azerbaijan mud flow washed out 800 meters of railway. In addition, about 200 meters of 37 kilometer Shirvan-Garagyune railway remained under water. As a result, railway routes Hajigabul-Shirvan, Hajigabul-Pirsaat, Shirvan-Garagyune-Khidirli were suspended, the electricity supply was stopped and connection broke at substations Hajigabul Nava-Alat-Sigirli. /Trend News/
