Analysis and measures to reduce the turnover of wagons on the North Caucasus Railway

The analysis of the turnover of the car in the conditions of the car fleet state management and the market economy is carried out. It is established that in the conditions of the Soviet economy, the turnover of the car actually characterized the effectiveness of its use to a greater extent, and its implementation was constantly monitored. In market conditions, when the entire car fleet is owned by many rolling stock operators, optimizing the turnover of the car does not affect the profitability of operators from cargo transportation, and, accordingly, in fact, the attention should not be paid to its acceleration. This leads to the conclusion that in the conditions of a large number of owners of rolling stock, the turnover of a wagon has ceased to be the main indicator of the quality of the operational work of railways. As a result, there is an increase in the oncoming empty run, an increase in the turnover of a car and a locomotive, which leads to additional costs for the Russian Railways, causes the need to increase train locomotives and crews, strengthen infrastructure due to the delay of a large number of trains, etc. Measures are proposed to accelerate the turnover wagon and increase the efficiency of the operational work of transport.
