The article describes the main problems arising from the operation of lowdensity
railway lines. There are unprofi tableness and uninformativeness of dispatching
personnel in relation to the train situation on such lines. A brief overview
of known ways of solving these problems is given. The importance of preserving
low-density lines in the railway infrastructure was emphasized. Moreover, the latest
information on the technical and fi nancial characteristics of all 32 low-density
lines of the October Railway is provided. On the basis of this, the authors of the article proposed a new approach to the organization of train movement, capable of ensuring the preservation of low-density lines in the structure of JSC Russian
Railways by reducing the costs of maintaining signaling devices and reducing the
station staff. In conclusion, the calculation of temporary expenses for the formation
of routes for the reception and departure of trains before and after the introduction
of the new technological solution was carried out.
