Depot History
The Depot compound was builded probably in 50s of past century and for approximately 15 years was completely abandoned till april 2019. Since that the Depot is in our keeping and redevelopment of the compound damaged by unauthorised usage and decay started. Since february of 2020 the depot operates at full capacity.
During the time we transformed the old remainings of former depot to a advanced, perspective, functional and well equipped workplace which meets the requirements to provide simple maintenance or more complex repairs and modifications of railway vehicles.
Take a look at some photos and video captured during repairs.
