as the Parlchamento Mining Equipment factory was constructed
in the new part of Karaganda,, about 10 kilometers frcac the
old section. Anuaors were current that the Parkhomento factory,
because of the instability of the ground on which it was located
as well as its lack of expanding room, would close down and the
new factory would replace it. According to engineering experts,
the old city might in time sink as a result of the exploited
coal mines underneath it. A giber of houses had in fact *61-
lapsed there in recent years.
3, In 1953-1954, a new 3-story passenger terminal was erected in
the new part of town, The terminal contained station offices,
waiting rooms, and various services for the passengers. The
freight station was located in the old city, from where a rail-
road spur led to the Parkhomenko plant, There was a great def.
of traffic at the Karaganda freight station, which consisted
mostly of coal trains. A freight yard (sortirovochnaya), which
also served as a parking areal, was located 7 kilometers north
of Karaganda, in the direction of Akmollnsk,
