The formation of the railway network, the density of which significantly outpaced all-Union indicators, was completed. Thanks to the technical reconstruction, it was possible to significantly increase the freight capacity of the railways. Measures were developed on the scientific and technical problems related to the improvement of technology and organization of transportation, concentration of production, the introduction of new types of traction on the railroad, and the railway engineering industry was greatly developed.
Originality. However, in modern historiography, there are no studies devoted to the modernization and achievements of rail transport in the 1960s – the first half of the 1980's, which predetermines the subject matter of this article.
