A significant renewal of the locomotive fleet and the appearance of cars with improved characteristics predetermined the development of new, previously inaccessible technologies related to the organization of heavy traffic.

In addition, special attention should be paid to the integration of heavy traffic with the technologies of the access roads of large enterprises. Systematic work is needed to prepare loading and unloading sites, weighing facilities, car dumpers, greenhouses. And it is carried out in close cooperation with the local executive authorities, owners of non-public roads, shippers and consignees.

The preservation of a unified railway production infrastructure and centralized dispatching control has become a basic principle in the Structural Reform Program.

Production verticals were created, which covered the entire range of issues of maintenance and repair of the track, energy, signaling and communications. Currently, the tasks of infrastructure management, ensuring its technical readiness for the transportation of goods and passengers are successfully solved by the company.

These steps made it possible to radically revise approaches to infrastructure repair technology. Today, its key principles are high quality planning of repair “windows” and the choice of priority sites for their implementation.

To improve the production discipline, the Automated system for analyzing the planning and execution of windows has been significantly improved with the inclusion of blocking functions in it in case of technology violation at the stages of preparation for “windows”. And the next stage should be the transition to a three-year planning period for the overhaul and reconstruction of railway lines.

Consistent work on reforming the industry has made it possible to form a long-term state policy in the field of infrastructure investment.

Despite the slowdown in economic growth in the country, the forecasts of Russia’s long-term socio-economic development are quite positive, which means that the cargo base will increase.

One of the key areas of the company’s work is the development of infrastructure for passengers. The experience of interaction of JSC “Russian Railways” with the leadership of Moscow and the Moscow region has shown that the development of railway transport infrastructure for suburban and urban passenger transportation is possible only if there is an interest of the subject of the Russian Federation. Currently, JSC “Russian Railways” is successfully developing the Moscow transport hub.

During the period of industry reform, a special role belongs to the transportation process management system. It is this complex that bears the main responsibility for the implementation of the key task of meeting the growing demand for services provided by rail transport. Today, it can be argued that the company has been able to adapt to new conditions, becoming more flexible in providing technological processes when interacting with our partners.

First of all, the approach to the formation of the main document of the organization of transportation activities – the train schedule has changed.

The balance of interests of passengers of high – speed, passenger and suburban trains with the interests of shippers and consignees is put in the first place when developing schedules for various categories of freight trains.

Synchronization of the timing of the introduction of a new timetable and the approval of the annual budget of JSC “Russian Railways” eliminated many problems of inconsistency of their parameters. Now these key documents begin to act simultaneously, and not with a gap of six months, as it was before.
