Kuzbass Fuel Company has completed work on expanding the non-public railway tracks at the Cascade railway station. Thanks to the reconstruction of the railway infrastructure, its capacity will double.
The railway tracks of the Cascade station were increased by 1.6 km. Thus, two additional exhibition tracks were built – 7.11 and two dead-end tracks – 14.16.
