Today we went to one of the largest train cemeteries in Russia or the Strategic Reserve Base.
This is the base of old trains, mothballed and prepared in case of war. After all, these trains do not need anything except water and coal or simple firewood.
Until 2004, this base belonged to the Ministry of Defense, was carefully guarded and maintained. At the moment, the trains are no longer of any strategic importance and are maintained mainly by the forces of enthusiasts.
Photography and filming at the facility is prohibited, but we still managed to shoot something for you. The territory is carefully guarded by courageous guards and angry dogs. I hope this video will not bring them problems, because we were cunning and resourceful, and they categorically forbade filming when they contacted us.
The "cemetery of transportation" was created after the XX Congress of the CPSU, when the Council of Ministers decided to stop the construction of steam engines and begin their liquidation. Only the threat of a nuclear war from the United States saved the huge locomotive fleet from being cut into scrap metal. All operating steam locomotives have been assigned a special strategic reserve status.
Scattered across the country were dozens of top-secret bases like this one. These facilities were not marked on any map and were very well guarded. In January 1991, it was decided to abandon these bases, most of the steam locomotives were started up for scrap. Left, just in case, only one single - This!
Old-timers say that there were many times more trains in the past ... but now it is being disbanded, steam locomotives are sent to museums, and something is being cut for scrap.
We will not indicate the location of the base, just in case.
