Laryan Narrow-gauge Railway
Current status
The Peat enterprise Laryan was established in 1930s in the village Krasava, Leningrad Oblast. The Laryan peat narrow-gauge railway's first line was constructed in 1939, in the area of Tikhvinsky District, Leningrad Oblast from the village Krasava to the swamp peat fields. The peat railway was built for hauling milling peat and workers and operates year-round. The total length of the narrow-gauge railway at the peak of its development exceeded 36 kilometres (22 mi), of which 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) is currently operational. The railway operates freight services for the heat-only boiler station of the village Krasava. The railway operates scheduled freight services from Krasava, used for peat extraction tasks such as the transportation of milling peat and workers. In 2014, repairs are being made to the track.
