Comment: It was reported previously that German railroad experts had
drain--up blueprints for the layout of modern railroad repair

that the Russians are greatly interested in German designs and
that they presumably intend to adapt their freight car repair
shops to German prototypes.

a freight car repair shop. Such an installation was to be capable of handling
a total of 1140 dams ad freight cars daily, including 28 bogie cars. According
the SMA ordered the designs because the car repair
installations in the USSR were no longer capable of handling the greatly increased
traffic on the railroad lines of the Don3ts, the Ural, and Kusnetsk areas.
Freight car repair shops were to be established in Kiev, Rostov, iioscow,
Chelyabinsk and Novosibirsk. The freight car repair shop in Mogilev, which was
used by the Germans during the war, has been enlarged.*
