Will invest $100 million
Russian RZD plans to invest 4.709 billion rubles (US$100 million) on the reconstruction of the The Moscow Little Ring Railway, a ring-shaped railway which encircles the center of the city of Moscow, by the end of the current year, according to the company.
Built between 1902 and 1908 Moscow Little Ring Railway is currently used for cargo traffic. The railroad is operated by the Moscow Railway, a subsidiary of the Russian Railways. Originally, the railroad has seventeen stations and was used for passenger connections. The station buildings are constructed in the same style and are referred to as typical samples of Russian industrial architecture of the beginning of the 20th century. As of 2011, twelve railway stations operated at the railroad. The total length of the ring is 54 kilometres (34 mi).
