The most northerly railway station is Karskaya in Russia. Karskaya station is situated deep into the Arctic Circle on Russia’s Yamal Peninsula, an area rich in natural gas and oil resources. It is the terminus of the 572-km (355.4-mile) Russian broad gauge 1,520-mm (4-ft 11.8-in) line from the junction at Obskaya via Bovanenkovo. The line, which was privately built, is owned and operated by Gazprom and was opened to Karskaya in February 2011.
Another northwards extension is planned to take the railway to its eventual destination of the coastal town of Kharasavey.
