As the practice of construction indicates, for large construction sites, where construction will be carried out over a number of years, it is advisable to be guided by the following;
1) before the commissioning of the first facilities and the organization of the railway workshop of the enterprise in the construction trust should be organized its own railway workshop operating its own rolling stock (locomotives and wagons); The structure of the railway workshop of a large construction trust can be adopted depending on the cargo turnover and the length of the paths in relation to the scheme; The steam locomotive depot and other structures that serve the rolling stock, as well as the paths, are desirable to build constant for the subsequent transfer to the current enterprise.
2) from the moment of commissioning the first facilities and the organization of the railway workshop of the enterprise, the transportation of construction goods should be carried out by the railway workshop of the enterprise under contracts concluded with the construction trust; the presence of your own locomotive economy and locomotives for the construction trust in these conditions is inappropriate, since the railway workshops of factories (metallurgical and other.) have powerful engine parks and technically equipped arrangements and are quite capable of providing all the needs of construction organizations regarding the transportation of construction goods.
In relation to the carriage park, it must be borne in mind that the types of wagons required for the transportation of construction goods differ from the types of wagons necessary for the transportation of goods of the existing enterprise. In addition, according to practice, the cost of renting wagons from the current enterprise significantly exceeds the cost of maintaining their own wagons in operation.
