Wolotschajewka Wtoraja ( Russian Волоча́евка Втора́я ; also Volotschajewka-2 ) is an urban-type settlement in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast ( Russia ) with 1937 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).
geography
The settlement is in the Amurniederung , a few kilometers from the right bank of the Amur -Nebenflusses Tunguska removed. It is located about 125 km as the crow flies east of the republic capital Birobidzhan , belongs to the Smidowitsch Rajon and is a good 50 km to the east from its administrative center Smidowitsch . The village of Sozgorodok, 3 km to the north, also belongs to the municipality (gorodskoje posselenije) Volotschajewka.
history
The place was created from 1936 in connection with the construction of the Wolotschajewka – Dzemgi railway line , when a larger connecting station to the Trans-Siberian Railway was built there. With the opening of the line in 1938, it received the status of an urban-type settlement and its name after the older village of Volotschajewka about 7 km to the east with the addition of Wtoraya ('second'). The village was renamed Volotschajewka Pervaya ('First Volotschajewka').

Economy and Infrastructure
In Volotschajewka Wtoraja there is the large station Volotschajewka II , the starting point of the railway line Volotschajewka-Dzemgi, which connects the Trans-Siberian Railway with the Baikal-Amur mainline near Komsomolsk on the Amur . To the south of Volotschajewka II (route kilometer 9) there are two connecting curves to the Transsib to the east ( Nikolayevka ) and west (Wolotschajewka I) ; up to Volotschajewka II these are electrified in contrast to the further route to Dzemgi . The train station is the most important economic factor for the place.
To the south, the settlement along the Trans-Siberian is bypassed by the M 58 Amur road from Chita to Khabarovsk, part of the transcontinental road connection.
