Trans Siberian Railway: The Greatest Railway on Earth(part-02)

in #utopian-io6 years ago

The third step

The most incomplete section was left for the third phase. At the end of the work of the flat routes, the third step was to put the railways on the middle of the buddy routes and add them to the railways. Initially, the construction of the 261 kilometer rail line from Baikal station to Myvivaya station was completed. Then began the marathon section's work. The construction of the 2130-km Amur Railway from Strettex to Khantovsk took 6 years.

This Amur Railway has established contact with Europe in the Pacific Ocean. But due to adverse weather and extremely dangerous geological position, the route of the Amur railway was initially changed to the Chinese Manchuria. Later, from Irkutsk to Khandovsk, the section was completely constructed through Russia.

The main three routes

Major Trans Siberian Route: Moscow - Vladivostok

Trans Mongolian Route: Moscow-Ulan Butter

Trans-Manchurian Route: Moscow-Beijing

The longest railway was developed as it was

The construction of the Trans Siberian Railway, sometimes the number of workers working at the same time has exceeded one lakh! As the work progressed, the workers' needs increased and the number of refugees entered into Russia and Siberia also increased with the help of the same. These poor refugees gave labor to the most risky part of the Trans Siberian Railway. Because there was a major problem in the construction of this railway, employing laborers to work in geographically hostile places.Most of these workers were peasants, day laborers, working or retired soldiers, convicted in various charges.

When the work of the Trans Siberian Railway began from Vladivostok, the number of workers working in the total was 9600 all-inclusive. But the numbers continue to grow faster with the amount of work In 1896, this number stood from 84 thousand to 1 million 10 thousand! On the other hand, when the construction of the Amur Railway began to be completed at the end of construction, the number of workers came down to only 20 thousand.The interesting fact is that by using the defendants in the trans-Siberian railway, the issue of exile and rigorous punishment began in Russia.

The speed at which the trans-Siberian railway movement was progressing beyond the bounds of tiga (a thick pond of dense pine trees that is formed in the wetland), adverse weather, snowfall, temperature under the temperature, mountain ranges, large rivers, lake like lake, and many more obstacles are unthinkable. Even after so much complexity, about 740 kilometers of railway lines were installed every year, which is also surprising in today's modern technology world. On the other hand, a bridge made on Russia's huge rivers has taken this railway to its unique height.The world was fascinated by the success of Russian engineers. For example, 64 meters high and 2.6 kilometer long khodovsk bridge on Amur river is known as 'Amur Mirakal' in the world. Only 13.5 million rubles was spent to build this bridge! One of the more expensive installations of the ambitious project was Sludianka Station 1, which was the first and longest railway station in the contemporary world to be fully marble.

Some of the wonders of the Trans Siberian Railway

--The original route of Trans Siberian Railway is 9288 km.
--The longest bridge, Khvarovski Bridge, 2.6 kilometers
--This railway is over two continents, Asia 81 percent and Europe 19 percent.
--From the Moscow to Vladivostok on the Trans Siberian Railway you will go over ten time zones!
--This large railway has been built over 16 major rivers like Volga, Oka, Oab and Amur.
--Japan is 39 kilometers along the seashore and the circam-baikal railway crosses 207 kilometers along the banks of Baikal lake, which transcend the Trans Siberian Railway.
--The winter average temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius throughout the Trans Siberian Railway!

Current of Trans Siberian Railway

In the year 2001, the 100 year anniversary of the Trans Siberian Railway was celebrated. At the same time, the Russian government announced the transition period of the Trans Siberian Railway in 2001 and started its extensive renovation work. At present, the length of this railway is more than 10 thousand kilometers and according to the proposal, it will increase further. In the last years, this railway has become one of the main transport vehicles in Russia. Given some statistics, it will be helpful to understand the reader's point of view.Currently, two hundred containers are transmitted through Trans Siberian Railway, which is 30 percent of Russia's total container transport! Where it takes 25 days to transport goods to Moscow from Beijing, it takes only 15 days for the trans-Mongolian route. As a result, the trans-Siberian railway has become unpopular in transporting goods between Russia and China.

The length, construction complexity, construction costs, incredible success and achievement of engineering learning, in all, the Trans Siberian Railway will become a unique symbol of the efforts and efforts of the people in the world. The Railway's contribution to the modernization of railway in the world is undeniable.
