An electric locomotive has been repaired in Armenia for the first
time in 25.
The loco was officially put into service by South Caucasus Railway
in Gyumri on Thursday.
"A year ago we reconstructed and reequipped Gyumri's locomotive depot.
But our key achievement is that we have created a locomotive repair
technology and have taught it to our specialists. Today we are
launching two repaired locomotives, whose service life is 400,000 km,"
CEO of South Caucasus Railway Viktor Rebets said during the ceremony.
Governor of Shirak region Felix Tsolakyan stressed the importance
of this project. "Now we are no longer dependent on Georgia in this
field. Even more, this depot will offer new jobs for people living
in Gyumri," Tsolakyan said.
In 2015 South Caucasus Railway is planning to repair three more
electric locomotives with a view to enhance the security of rail
traffic in the area.
Speaking at the ceremony were also Consul General of Russia to Gyumri
Yevgeny Konyshev, Mayor of Gyumri Samvel Balasanyan and Armenian MP
Artashes Geghamyan.
