Russian Railways winding up repairs at Moscow-St Pete line.

KHMELYOVKA, Novgorod region, November 29 (Itar-Tass) - Railway repair
teams are finalizing restoration of a section of the Moscow-St Petersburg
railway where a high-speed train crashed Friday night, leaving about 30
people dead and more than 90 others, injured.
An Itar-Tass reporter said in a dispatch from the site of the accident
electricians and section men were inspecting the geometry of the newly
laid track, the technical parameters of the restored rail embankment, the
overhead electric wiring system, the signal networks, and automated
equipment at around midnight Saturday.
When all the works on the up line leading from Moscow towards St
Petersburg are over, the traffic of passenger and cargo trains that have
to pass this section by the down line in both directions at the moment
will resume in full.
The tragedy occurred at the section of the railway between the
stations Alyoshinka and Uglovka at 22:00 hours Moscow Standard Time Friday.
An explosion of an improvised device sent several coaches of the
Nevsky Express train rolling down the embankment.
Experts say the power of the device was equivalent of 7 kg of TNT.
