Exit at the following stops:
Ulanovo station (98 km of the Baikal-Amur Railway)
Excursion to the station, which arose in the first period of the construction of the Baikal-Amur Railway. At that time, it had a standard set of necessary structures for servicing trains and passengers. In the second period, the passenger building was moved to 150 m, expanding the way. Coniferous - the only one of the stations, which after the transformation of the site into a dead-end was eliminated. There are a few witnesses of that time: a stone water-lifting building with a pipe, the foundations of lost buildings and rare century-old poplars are fragrant and balsamic.
The stopping point "Italian Wall" (102 km of the Baikal-Amur Railway)
Excursion around two neighboring complexes. The first includes Cape Shumikhinsky with a tunnel and a bay, a sandy beach and a stone pipe across the river. The second consists of engineering structures: a bridge, a viaduct, a gallery and retaining walls. One of the walls - arched, called "Italian" (built with the participation of masters from Italy) - the only one preserved in its original form.
The station Half (110 km of KBR)

The stopping point "Brook Kirkirei" (123 km of the Baikal-Amur Railway)
Excursion on tunnels No. 18 and No. 18-bis, inspection of the lower arch retaining wall. This tunnel is a complex architectural structure.
