  • New rakes that can sustain their composure at 200kmph
  • Infrastructural changes on the route on which there are numerous bridges with speed restrictions. Russian railways as proposed several technological solutions to reach the desired speed limit on such structures.
  • A different railroad switches must be installed that can help train to switch tracks at such speeds.
  • A digital technological communication network for the entire section, instead of the existing radio communication, was also proposed.
  • Overpasses, anti-collision, automatic alarm systems and anti-ram barriers are suggested in order to enhance safety.

This high speed project will be financed jointly and the cost will be split equally between the two countries.
