Alapayevsk narrow-gauge railway

The first section of the railway (Alapayevsk–Mugay) commenced operations in July 1898. Construction was undertaken by French businessman A.Illero. The railway had a maximum length of about 600 kilometres (370 mi) in the 1970s, though estimates vary.^{[citation needed][1]}

At present only 177 kilometres (110 mi) of the railway is operational. Current operations include passenger traffic and general goods movement. The railway operates a scheduled passenger service from Alapayevsk. The railway is the primary means of communication for seven rural settlements in the Alapaevsk District: Elnichnaya; Strokinka; Berezovka; Muratkovo; Sankin and Kalach. Principal cargoes include wood, food, postal services and fuel.^[2]
