Locomotives and wagons can be kept running. But they can't stop rail from wearing out.

 

Russia isn't a country without communications, and rail is a very important component of that. The road connections to the Far East have always been poor, due to vast geography and a low population in between Moscow and Vladivostok.

 

Pilots flying into Domodedovo airport are seeing more and more cannibalised airliners. As civil aviation starts to break down, then passenger miles on the trains increases. But if derailment rate increases due to worn out track, then what. If the Far East becomes disconnected, then Russia, in effect, ceases to be a country, in that the Far East will increasingly seek their own agenda.
