Production Tver Carriage Works (TVZ) has presented a production prototype of a modern baggage and mail car. Unique64–4505 car is a representative innovation of a new rolling stock type for TVZ. In terms of its specifications, it is superior to available market counterparts. Unlike its competitors, the new car has large capacity — 26.8 tons, which is 4.8 tons more compared to those in operation. Use of new baggage and mail cars will help carriers cut costs. They have a compartment with a service department for operating staff and a cargo compartment. Their service life is 40 years. This new development is fitted with a unique integrated monitoring system. It may control up to 10 baggage cars forming part of a train at once. In case of unauthorized access to any car, an alarm will be sent to the operating staff’s compartment. Car’s design enables operation of a loader with cargo with a total weight of 5 tons in the cargo compartment. This helps eliminate manual labor and decrease handling time. Special focus is made on work conditions for a service team. The compart - ment and service department meet the most up-to-date job engineering requirements. There is a cooking area with a stove, refrigerator and microwave. Car’s design speed is 160 km/h. “Over a few last years, the enterprise has created new products and mastered new markets, — Director General of TVZ JSC Andrey Solovey said during the presentation. Plant’s specialists have created double-deck cars with Fundamental sleepers and seats, designed and built the first makeup of a new-generation electric train, mastered production of Oktyabrsky Electric Car Repair Plant (OEVRZ, metro cars and built two low-floor tramways together with St. Petersburg) has successfully completed Transport Systems — one— and three-section.

Solutions used have enabled qualitative improvement of the car’s aesthetic perception, ergonomic and operational characteristics. Plant’s specialists have painted the body with advanced paint materials in corporate RZD colors. The undercarriage was renovated. Floor covering in the passenger compartment was renovated and modern comfortable seats were installed. Road-rail buses were fitted with new energy-efficient LED lamps. Thus, the plant has mastered a new activity — over - haul of road-rail buses.

ISBN 978-966-921-163-7 The monograph substantiates the existence and determines the origin of the constituent element of the resistance to the movement within rail carriages; the constituent is determined by the control of the wheel pairs within the railway track. In this book, we suggest the method to analyze closed power circuit in mechanical power transmission applied to rolling stock. The method of mathematical modeling for two- point contact of the wheel with the rail has also been developed. The characteristics of the kinematic resistance to the movement for a number of types of rolling stock have been obtained. There are power factors which control the rail carriages and their analysis is very important, therefore we address to it in the book as well.

This article reviews and analyzes the indicators of railway transport of Dnipropetrovsk region, namely, freight transportation, freight turnover, passenger transportation, passenger turnover. The analysis was carried out for 2005-2019 by districts and cities of the region, also the place of the region in the transport complex of Ukraine was analyzed. Recommendations for priority areas of development of the railway transport complex of Dnipropetrovsk region have been developed. Key words: railway transport, transport infrastructure, freight transportation and passenger transportation Introduction. Railway transport is one of the most important components of the transport and road complex. It plays a significant role in ensuring the viability of Ukraine's diversified economy. It accounts for 82% of freight turnover (excluding pipeline) and almost 40% of passenger turnover. The most important advantage of railway transport in modern conditions is its efficiency, accessibility and environmental friendliness. This kind of transport, is characterized by the use of electricity for mass transportations, which is a decisive factor in ensuring the competitiveness of rail transport in times of rapidly rising price for petroleum products, and reducing its negative impact on the environment.

    SEMAPHORESEMAPHORE Russian Magazine for Railway Transport Enthusiasts Published since November 2000 June 2004 Issue 6 RESUND LINK RAILWAYS AT MARIUPOL ZEBLYAKI AND YAKSHANGA APSHERONSK–GUAMKA–MEZMAY AMUR RAILWAY HISTORY POLISH NOTEBOOKS OF FLOATING BRIDGES. THE HEREH TALES FROM THE EDITOR Dear readers! You are holding the next, sixth issue of “The Semaphore”. Three and a half years ago, overwhelmed by enthusiasm and belief in our own forces, we, the Editors, did not even think, what it a heavy burden it was to publish a periodical. At first, the periodicity of “The Semaphore” has been established once a month, then once in half- year. However, insuperable circumstances would overturn all planned terms again and again, and finally the magazine began to appear about once a year, as if it were an almanac. It took us another ten long months to prepare the sixth issue. Nevertheless, our magazine is alive, to what, in particular, testifies the statistics of visits to the Web site of magazine (up to 400 visits a month). Our correspondents, both “old” and new, from time to time send materials “for the next issue of the magazine”. We understand that their expectations cannot and should not be deceived, and we proceed with the publishing. “The Semaphore” is open! Moreover, this is our first attempt to publish an English-language version of the magazine. While the translation may be not perfect, and some materials (like the crossword) cannot be possibly translated into other languages, we still believe that this undertaking is important, and urge native English speakers to help us with translation.
