Projects of the Yamal railway company:
The branch Novy Urengoy–Pangody–Nadym was restored in the 1970s, part of the Transpolar mainline.[4]
The company develops the Obskaya – Polunochnoye railway construction project along the Eastern slope of the Ural Mountains. Investment substantiation for construction of railway track prepares Saint-Petersburg company. Preliminary costs will be not less than 62 billion.
