history

Novy Urgal Railway Station

The place was founded in November 1974 not far from the village named after the river Urgal in connection with the construction of the Baikal-Amur-Magistrale (BAM). Accordingly, the place name stands for New Urgal .

By Urgal led since 1951, the restored railway line from Iswestkowy (Station Iswestkowaja ) on the Trans-Siberian Railway to Chegdomyn, which originally stood in 1941 before completion, but after the war began, was dismantled because the material was needed for war more important routes. A large junction station for the old line and the BAM was built here, as was the settlement of construction workers from the Ukrainian SSR at the time (as part of the propaganda about the all-union Komsomol building, BAM took over sponsorships from one or more regions of the former Soviet Union most stations and settlements to be built along the route).

In 1985 Novy Urgal received urban-type settlement status. Regular rail traffic on the entire eastern section of the BAM from Tynda in the neighboring Amur Oblast to Komsomolsk am Amur began in 1989. After the completion of the railway line and as a result of the economic crisis in the 1990s, many residents left the place.
