Kartaly (53-03N 60-39E) is located at the rail junction of the double-
track railroad leading north from Orsk to Sverdlovsk and the double-track
,railroad leading from Magnitogorsk east to Karaganda. The only available
photography of Kartaly, taken in is partially hazy and cloudy, 25X1 D
thus precluding a more accurate and.detailed photo analysis of this railroad
center.
The railroad classification yard is approximately 4, 000 feet long and
15-20 tracks wide. No major locomotive or car repair facilities are evident,
but possibly they are obscured by clouds. Approximately 200 railroad cars
are visible in the classification yard. Most of these can be identified only as
two- or four-axle freight cars. No unusual rail cars were observed.
The accompanying line drawing shows the elaborate network of con-
nections between the main double-track railroads, the location of rail spurs
serving industrial sites and warehouse areas in the city, and as many other
rail facilities as could be identified.
