Current status

Planning for the railway began in 1948 and building began in 1948-1950. In 1950 regular wood transport on the railway started, between Lundanka and loggings.[2] The Lundanskaya forestry railway's first line was constructed in 1950, in the area of Podosinovsky District in Kirov Oblast from the village Lundanka. The total length of the narrow gauge railway at the peak of its development exceeded 22 kilometres (14 mi), of which 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) is currently operational. The railway operates scheduled freight services from Lundanka, used for forestry tasks such as the transportation of felled logs and forestry workers.[3] In 2017, repairs are being made to the track.[4]
