monolithic foundations will be poured, 1,900 metal supports for the catenary system
will lie erected, 5 island passenger platforms and 27 platforms to t.,e side of the
tracks with a general area of 28,600 square meters will be constructed, 7.5 kilo-
meters of new track will be laid, and many switcr - installed. At Lobn,/a Station,
an electric traction power substation and living ,.,;cortanodations for the maintain-
ance crew x111 be constructed.
Work has already started on this line. On the run from Beskudnikovo to
Mark, the construction workers of the '.Ncselektrotyagstroy" [Moscox Electric

CEN7ZiALIZED DISPAT"fiING INS'rer?rsn ON SECTION OF TASHKENT SYSTEM -- Moscow, Pravda,
23 Mar 54
A new type of centralized dispatching was constructed and put into operation
on one of the most important sections of the Tashkent System.
As a result, the whole process of the diapatcliing service on the section is
automatic. One dispatcher in a centralized goat controls the traffic of trains
on the 150-kilometer section. A special system of lighting permits the dispatcher
to keep the train movements in *he section under constas.t observation, and to
control automatically the complicated switching and Lighting arranKement of the
track. The so-called train graph recorder automatically plots the traffic diagram
of all consists. The introduction of centralized dispatching made possible a 30-
percent increase in the capacity of the section and a more rational organization
oP train traffic.
Installation of centralized dispatching systems on other accLinu: ?s.i C1,~~ Tnsi;-
kent Railroad System is presently underway.
