Balezino is a station on the Kirov - Perm line of the Gorkovskaya railway. It is one of the key traction current docking stations on the Russian railway network, serving both passenger and freight trains. The line to Kirov is electrified with alternating current, to Perm - direct current.
In 1960, for the first time in the practice of designing the electrification of railways, the Electrification Department jointly with the Department of nodes and stations of Lengiprotrans designed the Balezino butt station for operation on direct and alternating current. A new station track park was developed here to receive freight trains arriving on direct current. In the central throat of the station, tracks were provided for storing DC and AC electric locomotives.
