PROSPECTS OF ULAN BATOR RAILWAY
Abstract
As of 2013 the total volume of freight traffic on the JSC «Ulan Bator Railway» has reached 21 million tons, which is 1.5 times more than in 2009. According to current projections, the current volume of freight traffic will increase by about three times in 2020 and will reach 45.1 million tons. With intense development of the mining industry of Mongolia and transportation of its products to China track facilities and infrastructure in general are in a critical condition. There are many «bottlenecks» on the main track. All these factors constrain the use of available capacity of new locomotives, limit their speed, and reduce weight of trains and axle load. To ensure prospective traffic volumes JSC «Ulan Bator Railway» should carry out technical modernization.
