The history of the South Ural Railway is closely connected with the construction of the Great Siberian Route. Works were conducted at an enviable pace:
After the opening of the plot Kurgan-Omsk in 1896Transsib began to function at full power. 29 locomotives and over a thousand covered wagons and platforms plied here. Freight turnover exceeded the expectations of the tsarist government, which made it necessary to build a second line of roads. So, in 1914 it was 5.4 million tons. However, the flight Chelyabinsk-Tomsk at that time lasted a whole month.
In World War I, the main line was completely abandoned.
Renaissance began in 1917 after the exileRed Army Kolchak. It was carried out at an amazing pace. Ural workers not only quickly restored the rolling path, but also provided assistance to other roads.
In 1920, the first Kommunar locomotive was repaired, which in 4 days took a train with bread to Moscow (previously it took 12 days to get there).
In 1934, formed a modern areaSUD. Later, additional lines were completed, the second ways, part of the highway was equipped with an automatic blocking system. Powerful steam locomotives WITH, IP, FD arrived at the site. Reconstruction, which took place in 1940, increased the turnover of goods 2.4 times.
В военные годы работники ЮУЖД помогали фронту construction of armored trains, sanitary trains, bath cars. After the Victory, the electrification of the road began, diesel traction was introduced at a number of sites, and new ways of branching were added.
ЮУЖД, имеющая более чем столетнюю историю, Today it is an important part of Russian Railways for both passenger transportation and cargo transportation, since it passes through the territory of the industrial donor regions of our country.
