MINISTER CHECKS NEW RAILS

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia /MONTSAME/ An examination was conducted to test the Japanese rails in Khonkhor of Ulaanbaatar on Novemebr 8.

It was attended by the Minister of Roads, transportation, construction and urban development Kh.Battulga.
The rails, being tested at the most destroyed parts of the railway, can significantly decrease the erosion and increase trains' safety, said the Minister. Currently used Russian-made rails, 1,150-1,200 US dollar per ton, are get eroded quickly. The Japanese rails cost two-three times more, but their service time is three-four times longer. The Minister said in case the experiment is successful, Mongolia will produce a high quality steel from own ore. In six months, the erosion of the rails will be checked again.
