Station Corner. Station Uglovka: train and train schedules for the station. What is an electronic ticket and electronic registration

The tiny nodal station Uglovka, the name of which is familiar to almost everyone who at least once traveled from Moscow to St. Petersburg by train, is the starting point of a small 30-kilometer branch connecting the city of Borovichi with a railway network. This line is one of the most unusual railways in Russia, it was built one of the first in the country. In Borovichi, to this day, the amazing, oldest in Russia wooden station of 1876, one of the main attractions of the city, is preserved.

The line was built in 1874-1877, during the "first railway boom" in Russia. Before the revolution, the road was private, built at the expense of Borovichi industrialists - owners of the refractory brick factory. Exactly in the middle of the line, at the 15th kilometer, was the Travkovo station (emphasis on the second syllable), which lasted until 1994; now in its place is a stopping point. Also at different times there were intermediate stations Korsakovskaya (10 km) and Suvorovskaya (2 km, transfer from the state Nikolaev road to the private Borovichi). The name of the latter echoes the estate of the great commander Alexander Suvorov "Konchakovsky", located in the Borovichi district, but in a completely different place. In Soviet times, both freight and passenger traffic was developed on the line; the trains Borovichi - Moscow, Borovichi - St. Petersburg, Borovichi - Novgorod, as well as up to three pairs of suburban Borovichi - Uglovka ...
In early 2012, a deliberate policy of the authorities of the Novgorod region to reduce suburban passenger traffic began. The reason is the unthinkable accounts for the compensation of losses from these shipments of hundreds of millions of rubles issued by Russian Railways. The Uglovka – Borovichi line became the first “victim”. Subsequently, the same fate awaited the direction of Okulovka-Nebolchi, Podborovye-Kabozha-Khvoynaya, Khvoynaya-Pestovo, Rogavka-Novgorod and many others. The train Borovichi - St. Petersburg has been canceled. Borovichi station began to receive not five trains daily, but one per week - from Moscow. It is possible that he is threatened with cancellation.
We visited Borovichi during the May holidays of 2014 and, of course, did not ignore the railway. I warn you that photographs were taken at different times and not even on the same day.
The station is located on the outskirts of the city. The building consists of wooden and brick parts, built, which is unusual, at one time. Surprisingly - a wooden building, built almost 140 years ago. How many wars, devastation, fires it survived and remained almost in its original form! Alas, in 2013 the roof was replaced by a modern tiled, sharply contrasted one.


Pay attention to the thread. But at first the station was built as exclusively commercial!


The station is a dead end (further - the coast of Msta), the desert platform is covered with a nice canopy.


He is the same age as the building. Here is a pre-revolutionary photograph. Find ten differences, as they say.

It’s nice to sit on these benches waiting for the train on a May evening ...


And in this building at the very impasse is the Borovichi linear ATS.


A strict woman in uniform came out and said the standard phrase that the railway is a strategic object, and therefore it is forbidden to photograph tracks and wagons. There was no demand to remove the pictures, as in the Moscow Novoperedelkino, and I did not argue with her. This strange ban, not spelled out in any legal document (regarding amateur photography), became for me only a signal to shoot more carefully.
Warehouse and water tower of the same time. Ready-made museum of railway architecture of the XIX century! On the extreme route is the train Borovichi - Moscow.


The only neck of the station.


Such hand arrows with a lantern showing the position of the rails can only be found in railway museums and at a few stations (in particular, all the stations of the Bologoe-Polotsk railway, some on the Moscow-Velikiye Luki-Riga line outside the Moscow region). Every evening they light up, creating a unique atmosphere of the railway. True, the lights are no longer kerosene, but electric (see a thin black wire?). By the way, arrows with kerosene lanterns are also found here and there on Russian Railways.

Borovichi station is unique in that it is partially located on a strictly guarded territory of the plant that is not related to the railway (Borovichi Refractory Plant), passing through it. Somewhere further than the place in the photo there is a gap in the fence with a sign "Passage is prohibited." If I’m not mistaken, something similar exists in the city of Serov in the Urals.

After some time, a train of seven wagons is served under a diesel locomotive DM62, which will lead it only 30 kilometers to Uglovka. Such a revival on the platform now happens only once a week.


At the same time, there are almost no locals on the train, the main contingent is water-boat tourists returning to Moscow after rafting along the Mst via the famous Borovichi rapids. The cars were filled up by about 80 percent. They drowned, as in the old days, with coal (at night the temperature dropped to -1 degrees), they were very warm and comfortable.
But the departure time is approaching, and the train sets off.

Despite the rather densely populated (by the standards of the north) terrain, the line practically does not pass through settlements. Around only forests and swamps. In large numbers there are embankments and excavations - the terrain, the proximity of the Valdai Upland are affecting. The train moves at an extremely low speed (it feels like 20 kilometers per hour), periodically increasing sharply and soon decreasing. But this is not the slowest train of Russian Railways :-)

It got dark. The train makes a stop at the former Travkovo station and a moment later sets off further, because no one got on or off. Theoretically, you can buy a ticket from Trakkovo to Moscow.
We visited Travkovo the day before. The station building, platform and sleepers from the second path have been preserved here.

We will soon arrive at Uglovka, where we change the locomotive to an electric locomotive, after which we continue to move along the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway ...
At Likhoslavl station, a group of Ostashkov-Moscow wagons was picked up for our train, and we arrived in Moscow in full force. And once this train consisted entirely of trailer cars (Moscow - Borovichi, Moscow - Ostashkov via Torzhok, Moscow - Andreapol via Bologoe, Moscow - Bezhets through Bologoe). Interestingly, the Moscow-Ostashkov and Moscow-Andreapol cars were unhooked at different stations, but met at Soblago station, following in different directions. But an even more interesting situation in the schedules is happening now.

Ostashkov - Moscow wagons passed through Torzhok, but were temporarily canceled for the winter of 2013/2014. At this time, the train Moscow - Borovichi - Moscow entered Torzhok, where the locomotive overtook, clung to the other end of the train, after which the train went on. Before the May holidays of 2014, Ostashkov cars were resumed. It is logical that the Borovichi train should have been canceled in Torzhok. But for some reason this did not happen. As a result of this, we have a strange situation when two trains depart from Torzhok to Moscow at different times, which interlock in Likhoslavl and arrive in Moscow together, and the Borovichi train spends additional time on arrival and changing direction.
