The role of territorial administrations of Roszheldor in opening (closing) railway crossings

The article discusses the activities of the Siberian Territorial Administration of Roszheldor and its role in the management of railway transport. The main attention is paid to the issues of opening and closing railway crossings. In 2009, an order was issued defining the procedure for opening and closing railway crossings. Roszheldor participates in this process, giving an opinion on the possibility of opening or closing the crossing. In September 2018, changes were made to the procedure, and the responsibility for recording information about railway crossings was added to the functions of Roszheldor. Infrastructure owners are required to submit level crossing cards to Roszheldor within 30 days after opening, closing, or changing information about the crossing. Since 2023, the territorial departments of Roszheldor have been working on updating and filling in the information resource on railway crossings. However, experts are faced with the lack of receipt of the necessary information from organizations that own railway crossings. Requests are currently being sent to these organizations to obtain information.
