history

In 1917, on the way from the Amur (or the Bolshoi Newer station of the recently opened Amur railway ) to the gold fields on the Aldan tributary Timpton, a winter camp and rest area named Schkaruby was built on the site of the present city .

In 1928 the place was named Tyndinski workers' settlement when the highway from Amur to Yakutia was built . In plans for the construction of the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) from 1932, the place was first mentioned as a possible future station. In 1933, construction began on a 180-kilometer cross-connection from the new BAM station (now Bamovskaya ) of the Trans-Siberian Railway west of Skoworodino in the direction of Tyndinski. In 1937 the line was put into operation on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the October Revolution .

In 1941 Tyndinski received urban-type settlement status. Since the construction of the Baikal-Amur Magistrale was initially not carried out, the laid tracks were dismantled again in World War II in order to use them near the front for the construction of the so-called Volga Rochade Saratov - Stalingrad .

The construction of the Baikal-Amur-Magistrale was not resumed until 1972, initially with the restoration of the section to Tyndinski, then from April 1974 with great propaganda effort as an all-union Komsomol object . For the Tyndinski station and the city to be built there, as for most of the other stations, a region of the former Soviet Union took over a sponsorship ; here according to the importance of the capital Moscow .

The first construction train reached Tyndinski in May 1975. On November 14th of the same year, the town was given town charter under its current name. The name is of Evenk origin; tendy means about on the bank .

In 1977 the railway line was extended via Tynda to Berkakit , and in 1978 to Nerjungri in southern Yakutia. This line, then known as the Small BAM , now represents the southern section of the Amur-Yakut Magistrale . Regular rail traffic on the BAM main line from Tynda was initially gradually started in a westerly direction (in 1984 over 132 km to Larba , in 1986 another 203 km to Juktali , 1988 another 294 km to Novaya Tschara ). In 1989 the entire route (with the exception of the Severomuisk Tunnel ) was put into operation, including from Tynda to the east.

After the completion of the railway line and with its temporary decline as a result of the economic crisis from the end of the 1980s, the population of the city of Tynda fell significantly.
