Gazprom closes 200 kilometers of railway in Yamal

The project, on which billions were spent, is not needed by the concern. A PHOTO

The future of the Novy Urengoy - Yamburg branch is as dark as the station of the same name, swept up in snow on a winter evening

On June 1, part of the Novy Urengoy-Yamburg railway line was closed in Yamal, which had been in operation since the 80s and was popularly called the “road of life”. The branch was built for the needs of Gazprom after it was decided to equip and operate the Yamburgskoye field, which is rich in gas reserves, on a rotational basis. The district authorities regret the appearance of another railway cemetery at a time when the district needs infrastructure, but they cannot do anything - the road is private, the decision is up to Gazprom. Experts also believe that Gazprom is acting in its tradition - to master the colossal money at a construction site, and then get rid of the ballast.

As explained by the website of the Gazprom dobycha Urengoy company, on whose balance sheet the railway is located, the movement of the train on the section from the 12th kilometer (Evayakha station) to the Yamburg station (this is approximately 220 kilometers) was stopped for an indefinite period. The Novy Urengoy – Evayakha section remains in operation.

The reason for the stop in the Urengoy subsidiary of Gazprom is the technical condition of the line, which, in their opinion, can lead to accidents and emergencies. It has been in temporary operation since 1986. Another reason for the gas workers is the termination of financing from the structures of Gazprom for completion, repair and maintenance. “There is still no regular traffic on this branch,” the company says.

The branch to Yamburg is a dead end - it departs from the main one a few kilometers after Novy Urengoy and goes through the forest tundra through the rivers. At one time, this significantly raised the cost of construction. When it was erected in the 80s, a lot of work was done: an embankment 8-10 meters high was created to protect the canvas from snow drifts. There is no exact data on the price of construction, but in 2002 they wanted to complete this road. Then the amount of 2.1 billion rubles was announced. As a result, the project was never completed, as the participants did not agree on whose account the funding would go.

The first trial movement along the Novy Urengoy - Yamburg road was launched in July 1986. The working train arrived at the Ozernaya station located at the 214th kilometer new highway. Equipment, road plates, pipes were delivered to gas producers. Then, for many years, the work of the railway line was criticized by the indigenous peoples of the North. Yamal reindeer herders complained that they suddenly found themselves in the epicenter of the industrial development of the Yamburgskoye field. Around them are compressor stations, drilling rigs, gas pipelines, scrap metal dumps, concrete dumps, and then a railroad without crossing paths for deer, which cannot cross it in search of food.

Today, workers at Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy are predicting the fate of the once-important northern railway line, the fate of the 501st construction road. Railway workers take out equipment and people from service areas.

Gazprom dobycha Urengoy has not used this railway line for a long time. Since 2004, the line has been leased to the Yamal Railway Company, which transports goods along it. In YAZHDK, the site confirmed that the lease agreement with them was not renewed and ended on June 1. This was an unpleasant surprise for the company, as it would result in losses, although the volume of traffic did not exceed two and a half wagons per day.

The company believes that the technical condition of the Novy Urengoy - Yamburg line is in working condition and it could be used further, having eliminated some shortcomings. There is also an opinion that, having received an order to eliminate violations from the transport prosecutor's office, Gazprom dobycha Urengoy decided to simply stop traffic on its departmental site so as not to spoil relations with supervisory authorities. Moreover, there is no need for a line. The company has a department for the repair and operation of roads, and preference is given to this direction. The workers of Gazprom dobycha Urengoy are also delivered to the shift by road.

But another "daughter" of "Gazprom" - "Gazprom dobycha Yamburg", after the closure of the line will have to rebuild transport logistics. According to the website of the company, one car was chartered to deliver shift workers to the field (the locomotive is assigned to YaZhDK). On it, with regularity every two days, on even numbers, 30-50 workers were transported. On odd numbers for these purposes, motor vehicles went. In winter, due to weather conditions, the road could be unusable, and then the watch would get to the place only by train. In addition to transporting workers, Gazprom dobycha Yamburg used a railway line to transport goods, methanol, which is added to gas when it is necessary to extract from wells.

Pair of passenger and freight trains from Novy Urengoy to Yamburg and back a few years ago they ran on a daily basis. The passenger journey lasted seven hours, despite the fact that the distance is just over 200 kilometers. For those wishing to get there on their own, the price of a train ticket was 350 rubles, for a bus more expensive - 600 rubles.

The Department of Transport and Roads of the YNAO learned about the closure of the branch from unofficial sources - Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy did not officially notify the authorities of its decision. The department says that they can hardly influence a private organization. Rather, they are ready to facilitate the negotiations of other companies interested in the operation of the line.

“We are sad to hear that Gazprom dobycha Urengoy has decided to stop operating this branch,” says Oleg Koreptsov, chief specialist of the transport department of the profile department. - They calculated and apparently decided what to use road, which runs parallel to the iron one, will be more profitable. Now it is difficult to say what will happen to her. Without care and maintenance in our conditions, the railway can become unusable in a very short time. And her further fate will depend on whether it is preserved or not. In the future development of the territory, it may come in handy. But at the moment, the district will not dare to take it on the maintenance, although any infrastructure is important for the development of the territory, and this line, of course, would play a role.”

According to the site, the issue of the future of the road should soon be discussed at a meeting of the leadership of YaZhDK and Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy. Most of all, YaZhDK is now interested in this branch, because it is losing customers on its cargo transportation. But even with the condition that Gazprom will transfer this branch to YaMZhK free of charge, the railway company is unlikely to be able to maintain it. It already has the Korotchaevo-Urengoy railway on its balance sheet, and YaZhDK has a good idea of ​​how much maintenance costs.

Decide who will fund the service railway Novy Urengoy - Yamburg, on the spot, in the region, will not succeed, says Mikhail Krutikhin, partner at the consulting company RusEnergy. No one wants to voluntarily take on an object that will be useful only in the future, but it must be maintained now. The issue can be resolved only at the highest level - with President Vladimir Putin. Krutikhin believes that such actions, to rid Gazprom structures of the maintenance of very expensive facilities, are typical for the concern.

“There is an example of how quite openly, publicly, during a meeting with Putin, the leaders of Gazprom asked for assistance in the sale of their Obskaya-Bovanenkovo ​​railway line, since its maintenance is extremely expensive. And it is unprofitable for Gazprom to maintain it. It is advantageous to carry cargo along it to the Bovanenkovskoye field, maybe extend it to Khalyasavey or Sabetta for the delivery of goods. It was not possible to persuade Russian Railways to take over this branch for their maintenance, since this is a very expensive branch. So Gazprom has a tradition of abandoning railway facilities and spending money on something else. I am very sorry that Yamburg can be left without railway communication, since this node can still be very, very useful to Gazprom for the development of other gas fields and even other companies that could work in that region. But here it is difficult to say something, since the owner is a gentleman, this is a corporate decision. Gazprom has one leader, and it's not Miller, but Vladimir Putin. And the only one who can make this strategic decision is him,” says Krutikhin.

Good time of the day!

On January 2, he returned from a rotational trip that took place in the cities
Novy Urengoy and Yamburg. Here's what we've been able to find out:

From Korotchaevo station to Novy Urengoy, despite the end of
autumn track repair and increased speed limit up to 60
km / h, trains still trudge 3 hours (distance 70 km). From
these three hours the train moves a little more than an hour, the rest of the time
stands on the junctions, although one or two trains will pass towards. Such
the impression that there is no automatic blocking there, and trains are waiting until
the one in front will not release the stage and will not report it to
previous station.

Pretty pretty blue and white houses stand along the paths.
linemen and shift attendants made of aluminum profile
with plastic windows.

There is no railway service from Korotchaev to Stary Urengoy
(the bridge a few kilometers from St. Urengoy is out of order). Shipping
passengers are carried out several times a day by shift workers (salon
buses on the chassis of a car Ural or Kamaz cross-country).

In Novy Urengoy, the construction of the railway station is at the same stage as
as in summer. There is a fence, there is nothing behind the fence. Not even a crane
put. The old station is a wooden building with
proud inscription "JSC Sevtyumentransput". Presented inside
a small waiting room with a huge horde of homeless people who are
shift workers who got drunk and lagged behind their train, forever
a closed information desk window, a cash register window with a terribly slow working
a cashier who takes 150 rubles a fee for issuing each ticket.

Novy Urengoy, although it is on paper open city, simply
so you can't get into it. At the airport, all arrivals pass
required passport control and personal inspection. If you go to
train, between Korotchaevo and N. Urengoy, an outfit must pass
transport police, without exception checking everyone's documents, and
selectively - personal items. However, no matter how much I drive, I never have a problem.
It was. I say that I'm going to watch, to drill a well, as proof
I open the bag, where the helmet and overalls lie, after that the cops
wish you a happy journey and leave. On the only road,
laid tens of meters parallel to the railway, built a "customs" -
covered hangar with open ends, into which cars pass.

One more trouble awaits those leaving the city - round-ups in
airport and train station to check registration. They don't always check
periodically, you don't know when you'll get caught. Just like that to the train
you will pass, all the approaches are blocked by the cops. Have to go to
trick - on the day of departure I call the office and ask them to buy me a ticket from
Korotchaev in N. Urengoy, as if I had just arrived, and now I am going
back.

There is still no railway communication from Novy Urengoy to Nadym. Trains
go only to Pangody, 3 pairs per day freight, 1 pair
cargo-passenger. Travel time 4 hours with a penny. From Pangod way
reaches the village of Pravokhetinsky,
there are shunting TEMs with several wagons. Further way
partially disassembled. Cargo-passenger
train Pangody-N.Ur. with a single carriage of the interregional type
is not popular. People prefer to negotiate with
shift drivers who meet at the airport and train station
shift teams. The fare is a bottle of beer. Ordinary state
there may be intercity buses, I was not interested.

From Novy Urengoy to Yamburg, the traffic is 2-3 pairs per day,
of which one train is a freight-and-passenger train (with an interregional carriage).
Its population is larger than in the train to Pangody. Basically go
local residents and single shift workers. Travel time 7 hours
(distance slightly more than 300 km). The railway track is very interesting.
It is located on an embankment 8-10 meters high. It was made for
so that the path is not covered with snow. Wind in the tundra most of the time
the wind is very strong - 15-30 m/s, and the snow is simply blown off the tracks.
Snow plows are rarely used, and even then mainly for cleaning
stations.

I had to refuse a trip to Yamburg by train - from Yamburg to
my rig is very hard to get to. Yes, company management
is extremely negative about my passion for the railroad.
I had to go by car. The route Novy Urengoy - Yamburg has
excellent asphalt surface, allowing in a quiet, windless
in good weather, drive at a speed of 120 km/h. But in that
the day there was a small blizzard, and the way of 350 km to my work we
passed in 5 hours. The road passes at a distance of several
tens of kilometers from the railway.

Yamburg itself is a regime closed city. 20 km from the city
there is a post through which you can pass, having a business trip
certificate and paper from the internal affairs bodies. How is it happening
inspection on the train, I don't know. Yamburg Airport serves only charter flights.
rotational flights, and sometimes closed for weeks due to weather (very strong
wind and poor visibility).

At work, I discovered a power station wagon that provides
energy for a residential town (380 volts) and an oil rig (6000V).
It is noteworthy that the distance from the railway was more than 20 km.

We didn't manage to see the Northern Lights - the weather interfered. But
had seen plenty of deer and aboriginal Nenets, whom everyone stubbornly
are called Khanty. I'll post pictures tomorrow. They come to us for gasoline,
vodka, firewood, sometimes they bring fish. They drink very heavily. That's why
live badly. Who does not drink - can afford satellite
telephone, and a snowmobile, and a mini-diesel power plant. But there are few of them.

For 2 weeks at work, I managed to get out to Yamburg only
once. The shift driver kindly agreed (per liter of liquid
currency) show Yamburg railway station. The station has only 2 tracks
(maybe there are more, but they are not used and are covered with snow). From
rolling stock diesel locomotive TE3 with a snow plow and
several freight cars. The role of the station is played by a small
a hut that I never entered. Even though I took my camera
it was useless to take pictures - visibility, taking into account the lighting, was
no more than 10-15 meters. Day (which is more like twilight) in
those parts lasts from 11 to 14 hours. The rest of the time is dark as night.
The sun does not rise from the horizon. Photos taken with flash
all white from flying snow.

But I managed to take pictures from the heart in Novy Urengoy and Korotchaevo
(but there were few high-quality photos).
We managed to photograph the diesel locomotive TE3-580, which was preparing to depart for
Pangody on the evening of December 31st. The locomotive itself, which has such an ancient
The room is in excellent condition both inside and out.

All traffic from Korotchaev is served by its own locomotives
companies Sevtyumentransput and the Yamal railway company - TE3, TEM15,
TEM2, TEM2U. TEMki work only at stations, main work
perform about a dozen TE3s that are in good, or even
perfect technical condition. I rewrote all the numbers, but a piece of paper
lost. From memory I remember TE3-580, 21XX, 2975, 3003, 311X.

MPS phantoms and TEP70 only reach Novy Urengoy, and then
exclusively with passenger trains. Freight leave in
Korotchaevo.

I left Novy Urengoy home on the morning of January 1, on a branded train
"Ob" N.Urengoy - Novosibirsk. Despite the post-holiday morning,
the conductors were absolutely sober, which cannot be said about the passengers :-)
However, there were only a couple of dozen passengers on the train. In our wagon
three went. And here are the conductors of the Samara-Nizhnevartovsk train, where
I moved late in the evening of the 1st in Surgut, ate like pigs and slept. By
Upon arrival in Surgut, passengers themselves opened the doors in the carriages. Ticket from
no one asked me. You might not have bought it at all. coupe
were littered with empty bottles and used linens.
Toilets were open, despite the one-hour parking in Surgut.
Before arriving in Nizhnevartovsk, the conductors somehow came to
in good condition and cleaned up.

That's probably all the impressions.

There are also photos from previous trips.

Tomorrow I will post a small video file with a diesel locomotive TE3-580.

City of Nizhnevartovsk. Russia.

At first I planned this trip at the end of March, but, fortunately, it was postponed to the end of May. Fortunately, because even at the end of May the temperature in Yamburg was -6 - -10 degrees, and only on the day of my departure it got warmer to +15.

The trip was not easy. To get to Yamburg, you first need to fly to Novy Urengoy (there are direct flights to Yamburg, but Gazprom Avia operates them, I didn’t know at all that Yamburg had its own airport, so I went through Novy Urengoy, and I’m not sure , which is possible at Gazprom Avia to buy a ticket for this flight), then go to the Gazprom representative office to obtain a temporary permit to visit Yamburg, and only then drive another 3.5 hours by car to Yamburg.

I flew to Novy Urengoy in the morning. Back in Moscow, I ordered a taxi Olympus (http://urg.taxiolimp.ru/) to get to the Gazprom pass office, and also immediately agreed with a taxi that would take me to Yamburg. Since Yamburg is a closed city, not every taxi driver will be allowed there. Colleagues from Gazprom, at the invitation of whom I traveled, gave me the phone number of a private entrepreneur who arranged for the transportation of people from Novy Urengoy to Yamburg. The carrier, as it turned out, is practically the only one, and he collects several people at once in Urengoy, and then they are all en masse driven to Yamburg. The fare is 1400 rubles, and the driver, at your request, can give you a check, which is very convenient when you go on a business trip.

From Urengoy, along with me, two more people were traveling, so we sat quite spacious in a 7-seater car. The road took about 3-3.5 hours (distance about 300 km.). The road is almost completely deserted, oncoming and passing cars were rarely met, the landscape outside the window practically did not change throughout the entire 300 km, a white endless field. Somewhere about 40 kilometers from Yamburg there is a post where passes are checked. Literally 10 kilometers after the post, the taxi driver had to urgently slow down, as suddenly a whole herd of reindeer crossed the road. I don’t know if the deer were wild or domesticated, but for me this sight was certainly amazing. Finally we managed to drive past the deer and the rest of the trip was uneventful.


The taxi driver took us to the only Yamburg hotel in the city. Since the hotel is the only one, they seem to be able to set prices as they want. Therefore, the prices are 10600 rubles. per day for a single room, and about 4000 rubles. per day for a triple room with one bathroom for all. Fortunately, I was paid for any room, so I chose a single room. The room turned out to be large enough, the room has a large bed, a table, a large TV, a refrigerator, a kettle, a small set of dishes. Large bathroom. Free internet in the room and throughout the hotel. This helped me a lot, because it turned out that the Beeline mobile operator does not work in Yamburg. In general, it was such a surprise that in Yamburg there is Megafon, Tele 2, MTS, but no Beeline. Because of this, I was left without communication for almost a week. Fortunately, there are applications such as WatsApp and Viber that can be used to make calls over the Internet. And the Internet, fortunately, in the hotel was of good enough quality.

After checking into the hotel and settling in, I went for lunch to a restaurant at the hotel. The restaurant turned out to be not large, but quite cozy, and the prices were quite reasonable, about 250 rubles for lunch, 200 rubles for breakfast (breakfast was not included in the price of the hotel), and about 600 rubles for dinner. The menu was the same every day, but there was one menu for breakfast, another for lunch, and a third for dinner. The food was tasty enough, so I went to the hotel canteen every day. The only thing not convenient, the dining room worked only at certain hours, for example, you could only come for lunch from 12 to 14.

One day, after work, I managed to walk around the city. Yamburg is not a large rotational city, where about 5-6 thousand people live. The city has its own church, a bus station (you can take buses only with special permission), the Novy Urengoy-Yamburg train used to run, but now it has been canceled. All houses in Yamburg are no more than 4 floors and absolutely everything is on stilts, as there is permafrost all around. Of the sights, perhaps, there is still a bird in a cage monument, a cultural center, an alley of labor glory and a pillar symbolizing a gas torch. Perhaps everything. There are a lot of grocery stores in the city, it used to have its own brewery (now instead of it one of the divisions of Gazprom dobycha Yamburg), there is a store with small electronics, where actually, if necessary, you could buy a local SIM card, but I decided that it wasn’t for me will be needed.





Three working days flew by quite unnoticed. On the last working day, on Thursday morning, it turned out that the taxi was fully staffed on Friday morning, and on Friday it was possible to leave Yamburg for Novy Urengoy only at two in the afternoon, which categorically did not suit me, since I got on the plane at 16 :20. This news made me nervous, there was no other taxi from Yamburg, I could not get a pass for the bus, I had to urgently check out from the hotel on Thursday and go to Novy Urengoy on Thursday evening. It is impossible to go directly to the airport, since the airport closes for the night, it was necessary to urgently book a hotel in Novy Urengoy, fortunately, as the locals said with a grin: tourist season”, so I found a room in the first hotel, although due to communication problems I had to book via the Internet. The first hotel that I liked was the AMAKS Polar Star hotel. Having booked a room, for only 5000 rubles. (just compared to the hotel in Yamburg), I calmed down and packed my things, checked out of the hotel and went to get into a taxi.

This time the taxi gathered a maximum of people, all seven seats were occupied. They gathered people all over Yamburg, and even stopped at the airport. The way back was just as deserted, but even here a small surprise awaited. On the way, we met a real representative of the indigenous population of the YaNAO, with a reindeer team, and about 500 meters from the road there was his Yurt (probably a yurt, or maybe this house is called somehow differently here). Otherwise, the landscape did not indulge in diversity, an endless white field, although everything looked very beautiful against the backdrop of the setting sun. The sun does not set here for long. Sunset at the end of May at 22:30, and dawn already at 1:30, these are really white nights.



On the way back, the driver stopped for a smoke break next to the Arctic Circle sign, so I was able to photograph this attraction as well.

In the morning I woke up around nine and immediately, headlong, rushed to breakfast, as it is here until 9:30. Breakfast - Buffet, with a small but sufficient selection of dishes for a hearty breakfast. After breakfast, I had some more time to calmly get ready, check out from the hotel to buy a few souvenirs (I bought a doll in a national costume for my daughter's collection, but it turned out that at the airport, the same doll is 500 rubles cheaper). Afterwards, to pass the time, I decided to go to dinner at the hotel restaurant. Here lunch was much more expensive than in Yamburg, but it was still very tasty. I managed to stretch the lunch for 1.5 hours (there was plenty of time before the plane, so I stretched the lunch as best I could). After dinner I called a taxi and waited for him in the lobby of the hotel. On this day, the hotel celebrated some kind of anniversary, and in the lobby they offered a glass of champagne or fruit drink for free, and fruit for a snack.

The airport is located close enough to the city, so the whole trip from the hotel took no more than 15 minutes. At the airport, due to an overabundance of free time, I wandered around the souvenir shops. There are not very many of them, but you can buy whatever your heart desires. Souvenirs for every taste, magnets (and not only with views of Urengoy, but also of Yamburg and the port of Sabetta). There are figurines made of marble chips, dolls in national costumes, national musical instruments and so on, so on, so on. In the grocery section, you can buy local fish, but since I can't eat fish, I didn't even ask what kind of fish it was.

Finally, they announced check-in and boarding for my flight, and after 3.5 hours I found myself in warm Moscow. This journey, perhaps, was one of the most difficult, but at the same time quite interesting.
