The Inta - Pechora - Rybnitsa railway line is part of the Northern Railway. Lengiprotrans has developed a project of the second tracks on this section to increase the capacity on the instructions of the Ministry of Railways.
The road is intended for the export of natural resources from the Vorkuta and Pechersk coal basins to the central part of Russia. The line is characterized by empty passenger traffic, since unloading exceeds loading: most of the trains go in the direction of the South, and the flows back to the North are insignificant.
Survey work was carried out in 1972. In 1973 the project was submitted for approval. Based on the results of the technical and economic comparison, it was decided to lay the second tracks from Rybnitsa station to Synya station, not reaching Inta station.
The second track is for the most part designed on a common track, only on the approaches to the middle bridges - on a separate track. The slopes were strengthened by hydro-seeding of perennial grasses, and drainage ditches and ditches - with slabs. A feature of construction in excavations was the replacement of waterlogged soils up to 1 m deep. The second path is 20 cm higher than the existing one.
The line is equipped with an automatic blocking system and electrical interlocking.
