Geography

Selikhino is located by lake Khummi,[1] on the Baikal-Amur Mainline railway, shortly after the railway leaves Komsomolsk-on-Amur towards Sovetskaya Gavan.

History

Selikhino was the junction station for a railway built in the early 1950s by the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, intended to link to a tunnel to the island of Sakhalin. Construction of the tunnel was abandoned after Stalin's death; however, the railway had already been built as far as Chyorny Mys; this section was kept open for logging industry traffic until the 1990s.
