Today, Scharkowski is again the end point of a 47-kilometer-long railway line from Semzy , officially opened in 1933, on the Moscow  - Velikiye Luki  - Riga ( Latvia ) line. The continuation to the south, initially opened in the 1930s to the now defunct town of Lomonossowo, and in the 1980s to close the gap to Promyslennaya station near Osjorny , 30 km to the south , the end of a line from Walutino officially opened in 1979 near Smolensk , was shut down in 1995 and largely dismantled by 2004. The gap to Promyslennaya, where the Smolenskaya GRES thermal power station is located, was mainly used to transport lignite from the area around Nelidowo , but lost its importance with the cessation of mining there.
