The Moscow Railway informs about the temporary closure of railway crossings.

In connection with the planned repair of the track, from September 2 to 6, the railway crossing at 63 km of the Petelino-Kubinka-1 section of the Belarusian direction of the Moscow Railway (Nikolskoye Highway) will be temporarily closed to vehicle traffic.

From 8:00 to 18:00 daily, a temporary traffic restriction is introduced at the railway crossing for the period of scheduled repair work to modernize the track. The temporary closure of the crossing was agreed upon with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region, the administrations of the Odintsovo municipal district and the urban settlement of Kubinka-1. Drivers are advised to use other roads until the work is completed.

From 8 a.m. on September 3 to 7 p.m. on September 5, a temporary traffic restriction is introduced for the period of repair work at the 106th km railway crossing of the Dorokhovo-Mozhaisk section of the Belarusian direction of the Moscow Railway (Mozhaisk Highway). During scheduled repairs, it is planned to replace rails, sleepers and rail fastening elements. This work will be carried out with the replacement of the crossing barrier device (UZP), which prevents unauthorized vehicles from entering the crossing; therefore, vehicle traffic will be completely closed here for three days.

The temporary closure of the crossing for the period of major repairs was agreed upon with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Mozhaisk District and the Administration of the Mozhaisk Municipal District of the Moscow Region.

On the days when crossings are being repaired, changes are made to the schedule of suburban electric trains in the Belarusian direction of the Moscow Railway. We ask passengers to familiarize themselves with the schedule in advance; all changes are posted at stations and train stations.

How will it look like

Railroad crossings are intersections of highways and railway tracks at the same level. Crossings need to be repaired and equipped with devices that ensure traffic safety and improve the conditions for the passage of trains and vehicles.

The LLC Trudovoy Desant company regularly encounters work such as repairing crossings on railway tracks and its team has extensive experience in this field of activity. Basically, such work has to be done during major repairs of the railway track and strict care must be taken to ensure that the design of the upper part of the road in the repaired area is the same as at the approaches to it.

Based on their location, these railway facilities are divided into:

  1. Public railway crossings: at the intersections of public railway tracks with public roads, municipal roads and streets;
  2. Non-public railway crossings: at the intersections of railway tracks with highways of individual enterprises or organizations (regardless of their form of ownership).

Repair of non-public railway crossings is carried out at the expense of enterprises or highway authorities, as well as at the expense of organizations that maintain highways and use these crossings.

Railway crossings are divided into regulated and unregulated.

Technological passages are the intersections of railway tracks with highways on the territory of an enterprise (warehouse, depot, elevator, etc.) intended to ensure the technological process of operation of this enterprise. The safety of the movement of rolling stock and vehicles on them is ensured by the administration of the enterprise.

Major repairs of a crossing can be carried out in the amount of major and medium track repairs. It is desirable that crossings be located on straight sections of both the railway and the roads crossing it. Any openings or places with reduced visibility increase the likelihood of an accident. The road must cross the railway at right angles. If this is not possible, then the minimum angle should be at least 60 degrees. Other options, during a major overhaul, need to be rebuilt to reduce the sharpness of the angle.

Overhaul of railway crossing

This type of work includes the following items:

  • replacement of moving deck;
  • replacement of defective and unusable sleepers;
  • cleaning of crushed stone;
  • repair of approach roads in the railway crossing area;
  • replacement, repair, painting of fences, etc.;
  • straightening the path in the crossing area.

Moving repairs can be made as needed. The scope of work in this case coincides with the scope of major track repairs.

The most vulnerable place at railway crossings is the decking or covering on which vehicles travel. Various materials can be used as flooring:

  • reinforced concrete slabs;
  • reinforced concrete slabs with rubber coating;
  • rubber chord covering.

The LLC Trudovoy Desant company is engaged not only in the repair of crossings, but also undertakes any other work related to railways, from developing construction projects or repairs of various facilities to putting them into operation. We work throughout Russia from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the eastern outskirts.

79. Infrastructure owners or owners of non-public railway tracks equip railway crossings with technical means designed to ensure the safety of the movement of railway rolling stock, vehicles and other road users, maintain sections of highways located within the boundaries of the railway crossing, in accordance with the requirements of these Conditions and technical regulations in force in the field of road management.

Infrastructure owners or owners of non-public railway tracks ensure the proper maintenance and operation of barriers, crossing and barrier signaling, replacement of barrier drives, proper maintenance and operation of telephone (radio) communications, uninterrupted power supply, serviceability of external electrical networks, floodlight installations, automatic switching on and off of outdoor lighting , obtaining and replacing electric lamps for outdoor lighting, including in floodlight installations.

80. Repair of track devices at railway crossings is provided on a planned basis by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks. When overhauling a railway track, a major overhaul of railroad crossings must be carried out. The scope of repair work for each railway crossing is determined taking into account local conditions by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks with the preparation of calculations.

Work on the maintenance, repair, overhaul and reconstruction of the deck and roadway of the railway crossing, installation and dismantling of temporary road signs is provided by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks.

Work on the maintenance of sections of highways located within the boundaries of railway crossings is carried out in accordance with Federal Law of November 8, 2007 N 257-FZ.

Work on repair, overhaul and reconstruction of sections of highways within the boundaries of railway crossings (with the exception of the decking and roadway between the tracks of a railway crossing) is carried out by the owner (possessor) of these sections of roads in agreement with the owners of the railway tracks.

Repair of automatic (semi-automatic) barriers, electric barriers, crossing and barrier signaling at railway crossings is carried out by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks.

In cases where, when developing measures to carry out work on repair, overhaul or reconstruction of a railway track or technical means at a railway crossing, the traffic pattern of vehicles changes, the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks at least five days before the work must determine the order of movement of vehicles through the railway crossing, detour routes and, in agreement with the owners or other owners of highways (who are in charge of the detour route), ensure the installation of road traffic control systems, including those indicating the detour route.

After making a decision to change the traffic management scheme and/or introduce a restriction, the authorized body notifies the relevant divisions of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia about the decision made and sends a TDS.

81. Before performing track work, repairing automatic devices (barriers and alarms) at railway crossings, as well as when repairing automatic blocking or power supply devices that disrupt the operation of automation at railway crossings, the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks shall develop measures to ensure safety movement during the period of work. If necessary, they organize additional training for workers serving the railway crossing, train drivers, and attendants at railway stations, allocate additional workers to assist at the railway crossing, and issue warnings about the special conditions for trains traveling through the railway crossing being repaired. Responsibility for ensuring traffic safety during work at a railway crossing rests with the worker on duty.

If it is impossible to complete repair work within the established time, the work contractor reports this to the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of the non-public railway tracks, who, depending on local conditions, make a decision on the operating procedure of the railway crossing, after which they give appropriate instructions to their employees and notify the relevant departments State traffic inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with an attached work schedule.

82. Periodic inspections of the condition and checks of the operation of track devices and automation equipment at railway crossings by officials are carried out in the time frame and in the manner established by the owner of the infrastructure or the owner of non-public railway tracks.

The book of reception and delivery of duties and inspection of devices at a railway crossing must be checked during each inspection of the maintenance and maintenance of the crossing: by a road foreman at least twice a month, by a track foreman at least four times a month, as well as each time they visit a railway crossing.

The results of the inspection and these orders are recorded in the specified book.

83. Infrastructure owners or owners of non-public railway tracks must systematically monitor the performance of job duties by employees serving railroad crossings, the condition and operation of railroad crossings, as well as the quality of inspections and the implementation of planned measures to eliminate identified defects.

Industry Features

Qualified repair and maintenance of railway tracks is a necessity, allowing timely identification of breakdowns and wear of track elements and high-quality replacement of structural parts. At the preparatory stage, before carrying out work, specialists check the technical condition of the facility and the surrounding area.

Repair of the railway track can be carried out not only completely, but also partially. In this case, only those elements that have become unusable and cannot be restored are changed. Example: worn sleepers. If you need to replace the entire track, then we are talking about a major repair of the railway track. The need to carry it out may arise due to the need to upgrade the category of the object. After the overhaul, the load-carrying capacity of the track will increase, which will increase the capacity of the infrastructure.

Types of railway track repairs

Measures to restore or improve the performance of infrastructure are classified into separate categories or classified as complex work. Types of Russian Railways repairs by groups :


  • Medium - complete cleaning of crushed stone ballast, replacement of unsuitable sleepers and elements of fastening joints.
  • Medium reinforced - includes measures to increase the load-bearing capacity of ballast and canvas.
  • Capital - implies the replacement of rail and sleeper structures on a 3-5 class railway (switches of 4-5 class tracks) with products with less wear or more powerful, assembled from old still serviceable and new elements, replacement or cleaning of ballast.
  • Capital reinforced - focused on a set of measures with updating the upper structure on railway tracks of 1-2 classes, turnouts of 1-3 classes. with an increase in the bearing capacity of the prism and the earthen base of the canvas.
  • Lifting work is aimed at straightening tracks, replacing unsuitable sleepers and restoring repairable ones, improving the uniform elasticity of the base under the sleepers and the drainage characteristics of ballast.

As part of the maintenance of railway tracks, planned preventive measures must be carried out to straighten the road infrastructure. During the work process, specialists reduce the degree of soil subsidence and retreat. Repair and maintenance of railway tracks by competent craftsmen is always carried out taking into account the characteristics of the soil, landscape, and details of project documentation.
