Project for Increasing Hardness of Rails Accelerated in DPRK

Economy 2024.2.22.


The railway transport sector in the DPRK is striving to increase the hardness of rails, true to the resolutions of the 9th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

The Ministry of Railways has made sure that all railway bureaus direct efforts to ensuring the quality of concrete sleepers and railway fixtures.

The Haeju Branch of the Pyongyang Railway Bureau set up new ballast crusher and press while giving precedence to materials needed for the production of concrete sleepers and took a step to ensure the full operation of equipment.

The Hamhung Railway Bureau has increased the production of concrete sleepers and railway fixtures through a mass technical innovation movement.

The Kaechon Railway Bureau has taken measures for the supply of spare parts to raise the operation rate of concrete sleeper production equipment.

Other railway bureaus are expanding their successes while tapping and mobilizing internal reserves to the maximum and observing the technical rules and standard regulations.
