Kuibyshev railway.
Kuibyshev Railway serves the regions of the Middle Volga region. The road was formed from Samara-Zlatoust railway, a number of sections of the Moscow-Kazan Railway and the former Syzran-Vyazemskaya Railway. The total length of the tracks is 11,502.5 km, including the main ones - 7,234.8 km. The management of the Kuibyshev road is located in Samara.
Kuibyshev Railway serves the largest automobile plants in Ulyanovsk, Naberezhnye Chelny and Tolyatti, oil refineries and defense enterprises.
First section Kuibyshev railway(Ryazhsk - Morshansk) was built in 1867. In 1877, the Kuibyshevskaya road was extended to Kinel station. In 1888, the road from Kinel station was extended to Ufa, in 1890 to Zlatoust, in 1892 to Chelyabinsk. The combined sections made up the Samara-Zlatoust Railway, the management of which was transferred from Ufa to Samara.
During the Great Patriotic War Kuibyshev Railway played important role, connecting the rear with the front. In total, during the war years, 443 thousand trains (about 20 million cars) were delivered to the front. The volume of national economic cargo amounted to more than 40 million wagons. The Kuibyshev Railway transported equipment from 1,360 large industrial enterprises to the Urals, Western Siberia, the Volga region and other regions of the country, and over 10 million people were evacuated.
In 1943, the first section of the Kuibyshevskaya road was electrified for suburban transportation: Kuibyshev - Bezymyanka. The urgent electrification of this intra-city section of the railway was caused by the need to transport large quantity workers at evacuated defense factories. Electrification of the Kuibyshev road has become the most important event for the city of Kuibyshev.

Part of the Volga road from Gromovo to Tsilna now belongs to the Kuibyshev railway. For a long time, distances on the Kuibyshev Railway in the Samara region were measured from the Batraki station.
In 1953-1954, a section of the Kuibyshev road Dema - Kropachevo was electrified with direct current. By the end of 1958, the Pokhvistnevo - Kuibyshev - Syzran - Inza section was electrified. Settlements, located close to the railway, for the first time received electricity precisely from the lines feeding traction substations.
On July 14, 1959, the Ufa and Orenburg railways were included in the Kuibyshev railway. In the 1960–1970s, a large technical re-equipment program was implemented on the Kuibyshevskaya road: converting the road to electric and diesel traction, reconstructing junctions and stations, laying second tracks.
In October 2003, together with the other 16 roads in Russia, the Kuibyshev Mainline became part of Russian Railways OJSC.
In 2011, the reconstruction of the Bezymyanka multiple unit depot in Samara was completed. The updated Bezymyanka depot made it possible to service suburban electric trains of the Samara, Penza and Bashkir regions of the Kuibyshev Railway, as well as to service the new Lastochka electric trains, which are expected to arrive in the next 2-3 years.
The railway network of the Kuibyshev Railway consists of two almost parallel lines running from west to east: Kustarevka - Inza - Ulyanovsk and Ryazhsk - Samara, which connect at the Chishmy station, forming a double-track line ending at the spurs of the Ural Mountains.

Story
The first section within the Kuibyshev railway (Ryazhsk - Morshansk) was built in 1867 on the initiative of Tambov landowners and entrepreneurs. Soon the question arose about connecting the site with the Volga River. On October 25 (new style), 1874, the Morshano-Syzran railway was put into operation in a solemn ceremony. This date is considered the birthday of the highway. The length of the Morshansk-Syzran railway was 485 versts (517 km). The line operated 42 steam locomotives, 47 Morse engines, and operated 530 freight cars, 52 passenger cars, and 15 baggage cars. During the day, one pair of passenger and three pairs of freight trains of up to 120 tons passed along the road.
In the 1960-1970s, a large technical re-equipment program was implemented on the Kuibyshev road: converting the road to electric and diesel traction, reconstructing junctions and stations, laying second tracks. During these years, 430 km of new lines, 601 km of second tracks, 273 km of station tracks were laid; 1,369 km electrified; included in the electrical centralization of 5200 switches; equipped with automatic blocking for more than 1 thousand km and dispatch centralization for more than 1.5 thousand km.
In the 1980s, 270 km of new lines were built on the highway, including Beloretsk - Karlaman with access to Magnitogorsk; 525 km of secondary tracks and 259 km of station tracks were laid; equipped with electrical centralization for about 3,700 switches; automatic blocking and dispatch centralization were introduced in new areas; 1,682 km of continuous continuous track were laid. Over 80% of freight turnover began to be carried out by electric traction.
In October 2003, together with the other 16 roads in Russia, the Kuibyshevskaya Mainline became part of Russian Railways OJSC.
Structure
The railway network of the Kuibyshev Railway consists of two almost parallel lines running from west to east: Kustarevka - Inza - Ulyanovsk and Ryazhsk - Samara, which connect at the Chishmy station, forming a double-track line ending at the spurs of the Ural Mountains. From Ufa station there is a line to Karlaman station, where it splits into a branch towards Beloretsk, Magnitogorsk and into a branch towards the cities of Sterlitamak, Salavat, Meleuz and Kumertau. From Aksakovo station there is a dead-end line to the city of Belebey which has no passenger service. The other two lines of the road Ruzaevka - Penza - Rtishchevo and Ulyanovsk - Syzran - Saratov go from north to south. The road boundaries on these lines are: Gromovo (Saratov - Syzran), Krivozerovka (Penza - Rtishchevo). The main junction stations of the road: Penza, Syzran, Oktyabrsk, Samara, Dema, Kinel.

Kuibyshev Railway- one of the largest steel highways Russian Federation. Its operational length is 4751.98 km.
The Kuibyshev Mainline passes through the territories of Penza, Samara, Ulyanovsk, Tambov, Chelyabinsk, Ryazan, Orenburg regions and the Republics of Bashkortostan, Tatarstan and Mordovia. The powerful industrial and agro-industrial potential of these regions determines the high level of freight traffic on the highway.
The steel threads of its two almost parallel lines: Kustarevka - Inza - Ulyanovsk and Ryazhsk - Samara - converge at the Chishmy station and lead to the east, to the foot of the Ural Mountains.
The other two: Ruzaevka - Penza - Rtishchevo and Ulyanovsk - Syzran - Saratov - run from north to south, incorporating the Gorky and Volga roads into the country's unified transport network. Kuibyshevskaya connects the center and west of Russia with the Urals and Siberia, Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
The road includes four regions: Samara, Penza, Bashkir and Volga-Kama.
Branded cargo of the Kuibyshev Railway - oil and petroleum products. The road serves automobile factories in Tolyatti, Ulyanovsk, and Naberezhnye Chelny. Among her clients large enterprises on production chemical fertilizers And building materials, mechanical engineering and coal mining, it carries timber and grain, agricultural products, cement and metal.
History of the road
The Kuibyshev Mainline is one of the first to appear in Russia. Her story has begun October 25, 1874 with the opening of regular train service on the Morshansk - Syzran section. The length of the Morshansk-Syzran railway was 485 versts. The line operated 42 steam locomotives, 47 Morse engines, and operated 530 freight cars, 52 passenger cars, and 15 baggage cars. One pair of passenger and three pairs of freight trains weighing up to 120 tons passed along the road per day.
The opportunities that the railways opened up became a powerful stimulus for the development of the economies of the regions through which the railway passed. New production facilities were created there, plants and factories were built, and products were given access to a wide market. agriculture. Year after year the road expanded its boundaries. The names also changed: Samara-Orenburg, Samara-Ufa, Samara-Zlatoust. In 1919 the Western Ural railway with sections Kropachevo - Chelyabinsk and Poletayevo - Kustanai was attached to the Samara-Zlatoust railway, and in 1921- Volgo-Bugulminskaya (from Chishmov to Chapel Verkhnyaya station). In 1929 the Inza - Ulyanovsk section of the Moscow-Kazan road was added to the Samara-Zlatoust road.
In 1936 The main line was named the Kuibyshev Railway in honor of the famous public figure Valerian Kuibyshev. In 1942 part of the Penza railway was added to the mainline. In August 1944 Our highway also included the Kindyakovka-Syzran-Sennaya line. In May 1953 The Kuibyshev Railway becomes the Kuibyshev Railway. And in 1959 it includes the Ufa Railway, which previously existed independently.
The Kuibyshev Railway played a decisive role during the Great Patriotic War, connecting the rear with the front. Over the years, 19 million wagons of cargo have been transported along its steel track, including about a million tanks. More than 141 million rubles were collected by the railway workers for the Defense Fund. With this money, 10 armored trains and 80 ambulance trains were built. More than 14 thousand Kuibyshev railway workers fought on the fronts. 23 of them became Heroes of the Soviet Union.
During the Great Patriotic War, the importance of the Kuibyshev railway was determined by the increased freight traffic on the railway lines of the Volga region, the Urals and Siberia, which became the main communications for supplying the front with ammunition, military equipment, fuel and food. IN short terms Equipment from 1,360 large industrial enterprises was transported along the Kuibyshev railway to the Urals, Western Siberia, the Volga region and other regions of the country, and over 10 million people were evacuated. During this difficult time, new working methods were mastered on the road: high-speed formation of trains, uncoupling wagon repairs, driving heavy trains, sending double trains... To improve bandwidth sections, from October 1941, a “live block” was introduced on the road: the movement of trains was organized by people placed at a distance of visibility, according to whose signals the order of passage of trains was established.
In the 60-70s On the Kuibyshevskaya road, a large program of technical re-equipment of the road was carried out. The problem of converting the road to electric and diesel traction has been largely solved; junctions and stations were reconstructed and second tracks were laid, which contributed to the development of throughput and carrying capacity. During these years, 430 km of new lines, 601 km of second tracks, 273 km of station tracks were laid; 1,369 km electrified; included in the electrical centralization of 5200 switches; equipped with automatic blocking for more than 1000 km and dispatch centralization for more than 1500 km; cultural and community facilities were built. The commissioning of the Inza - Kustarevka section completed the electrification of the world's longest Moscow - Baikal highway. In 1971, the road was awarded the Order of Lenin.
At this time, the country was undergoing technical re-equipment of all industries, and the number of industrial giants under construction increased significantly: automobile factories, oil refining and aerospace complex enterprises, hydroelectric power plants were built with the direct participation of railway workers. Thanks to the presence of the Kuibyshev Railway, the construction of AvtoVAZ, KamAZ, the Volzhskaya Hydroelectric Power Station and many other large industrial enterprises became possible.
In the 80s, 270 km of new lines were built on the highway, including Beloretsk - Karlaman with access to Magnitogorsk; 525 km of secondary tracks and 259 km of station tracks were laid; equipped with electrical centralization for about 3,700 switches; automatic blocking and dispatch centralization were introduced in new areas; 1,682 km of continuous continuous track were laid. Over 80% of freight turnover is carried out by electric traction.
In October 2003 together with the other 16 roads of the Russian Federation, the Kuibyshevskaya highway became part of the new joint stock company"Russian Railways". Combining into unified system all steel highways in the country, JSC Russian Railways has become the largest transport company Europe, ranked in the top five by revenue Russian leaders. One hundred percent of the shares of JSC Russian Railways belong to the state, without the right to transfer to private individuals. Today, thanks to the work of the company, all conditions have been created for the development of competition in the field of passenger and freight transportation. Modernization of the main technical means The railway industry has become a powerful incentive for the development of domestic industry. The Russian Railways company is turning from a monopolist into a subject market economy. The Company's positive performance plays a decisive role in the economic stability of most regions.
At the current stage of development, the service area of the Kuibyshev Railway includes 3 republics - Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Mordovia, as well as 7 regions: Ryazan, Penza, Tambov, Ulyanovsk, Samara, Orenburg and Chelyabinsk.
