The railway company announced this in its Telegram.
“The first freight trains in test mode crossed the restored bridge in Transbaikalia!
First, the railroad workers let an empty freight train through.
This is required by the technology for checking the reliability of structures.
Following the already loaded train successfully overcame the bridge over the Areda River in the Trans-Baikal Territory, rebuilt after the destruction of the elements, ”the statement says.
It is specified that after all the checks, a decision will be made to open traffic for passenger trains.
Earlier it became known that a railway bridge on the Trans-Siberian Railway collapsed due to rains in Transbaikalia.
Later, the Russian Railways company limited for three days the loading of all cargo, except for products, from all sections located to the west of the Bushuley station of the Trans-Baikal railway, and from stations in the eastern direction.
