Kirov Railway ((ロシア語:Кировская железная дорога), ''Kirovskaya zheleznaya doroga'', to 1935 ''Murman Railway'') is a broad gauge Russian railway network that links the Murman Coast and Murmansk city (in the north) and Saint Petersburg (in the south). The railway is operated by the ''Arktika'' passenger train, see List of named passenger trains of Russia. It has always been of vital military importance because of Murmansk being an ice-free port on the Arctic Sea. The northern part between Petrozavodsk and Kola was built in 1915-17, due to a lack of workers under assignment of an increasing number of German war prisoners. The total distance between Saint Petersburg and Murmansk is 1,448 km, the part between Petrozavodsk and Kola has a length of 1,054 km. It has 52 stations. The railway was Railway electrification in Russia in 2005. == See also == * Murmansk–Nikel Railway 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kirov Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
