Obskaya–Bovanenkovo Line


Most northerly railway

The railway is the northernmost railway in the world, since Bovanenkovo is located at, farther north than the Kirkenes–Bjørnevatn Line, traditionally seen as the northernmost. Plans to construct a more northerly railway to serve the Baffinland Iron Mine in Canada have been deferred. Before completion of the railway to Bovanenkovo, the most northerly railway in Russia was the Norilsk railway.
