Russia has planned to build a new railway to the Pacific Ocean

Russian railways and colleagues have considered the possibility of building a new branch of the railroad to the Pacific Ocean. This was announced by the general director of the company Oleg Belozerov, RIA Novosti reports.

According to him, the relevant proposal came from colleagues of the Russian Railways, which export coal, provided that they will be given the opportunity to export raw materials. "That is, it will not even be BAM or Transsib, but another new line higher. This is the third parallel of the Pacific Ocean, "Belozerov said.
