Station new char. New enchantment. Station New Chara

In April of this year, I had a chance to travel by train along the most high-altitude and beautiful section of Russian railways - the section of st. Hani - lane. Mururinsky (1317 m.) - st. New Chara (see photo 1). The length of this section of the BAM is only 125 km (or 3 hours on the way), but the impressions from it remain for a lifetime ...

1. Scheme of the Hani - Novaya Chara section (taken from the Yandex map)

2. The starting point of our journey is st. Hani, this is my train (Tynda - Anapa).

Let's take advantage of its long stay (30 minutes) and get to know more about the village. Hani.

Hani- the place on the highway is quite unique. Firstly, it is the only settlement in Sakha-Yakutia on the "Bolshoi BAM". In addition, Khani station is the place where the East Siberian and Far Eastern railways meet. From here 2380 kilometers to Irkutsk (administration of the first road), 2380 kilometers to Khabarovsk (administration of the second road). Amazing coincidence in distances! Some say that this is an accidental coincidence, while others see it as a "finger of God".

In this place, in general, there were many different borders. Two federal districts of Russia are divided here: Siberian and Far Eastern. Khani is the only settlement on the BAM, where three administrative regions meet: Yakutia, Amur and Chita regions. This is the only village in the BAM region, the inhabitants of which serve the railway kilometers of three regions at once.

The Khani station was both designed and built as the main stronghold in the laying of roads and railways through the Udokan ridge, where the BAM rises to its highest point (1316, 93 meters). By the way, in Khani, all trains have a long stay (about half an hour), since here the diesel locomotives of the Novaya Chara depot of the East Siberian Railway are replaced by diesel locomotives of the Tynda depot of the Far Eastern Railway and vice versa, depending on the direction of movement. And since both pairs of high-speed trains pass the station during light (spring-summer) time, any inquisitive traveler always has time to walk a little through this amazing place, seeing firsthand the harsh beauty of the south of Sakha-Yakutia.

Today (2012) the leader in the supply of telephone and Internet communications is OJSC "Rostelecom".

Also, a local cable TV (circa 2009) started working with the possibility of advertising in a floating line.

Nature

In the village area, along the Nirungnakan River, the Elovo-Chozeniovaya grove grows, reaching a height of more than 50-100 meters, which is also a natural monument of regional significance

New Chara- an urban-type settlement in the Kalarsky district of the Trans-Baikal Territory. Located 16 km south of the regional center - with. Chara, at the confluence of the river. Nirungnakan in the r. Chara (left tributary of the Olekma River). Population - 4 thousand people. (2016).

History of New Chara

Founded in 1979 during the construction of the BAM. In February 1979 in the village. New Chara began construction of the first residential buildings (detachment named after E.I.Burova from SMP-577). In 1981, the Novocharsk Village Council was formed. Since December 1981, the first landing of the builders of the KazakhBAMstroy SMP began to work (the Kazakh SSR was the chief of the construction of the village). In 1982, construction began on the station. Chara, on which the first working train arrived on November 7, 1983. In 1986 the settlement received the status of an urban-type settlement. The name was given to him by r. Chara (from the Evenk "char" or the Yakut "chaara" - shallow; the river really abounds with shoals, rifts, large rapids).

Station New Chara

The Novaya Chara railway station is located at 1719 km of the BAM. It was opened in 1989.

Charoite

In honor of R. Enchantment was named a valuable ornamental stone - charoite... For the first time, the mineral charoite was found by the Soviet geologist Vladimir Georgievich Ditmar in 1948 in the interfluve of the Chara and Tokko rivers. The world's only charoite deposit is located in the Olekminsky region of Yakutia. For its amazing properties, charoite is called "the lilac miracle of Siberia."

Chara Desert

10 km north-west of the station. New Chara is a unique natural monument - Chara sands tract (Chara desert)... The size of the tract is approximately 10 km by 5 km. The height of individual dunes reaches 30 m. On the site of the Chara desert 60-100 thousand years ago, there was a large reservoir, which disappeared, apparently, 12-15 thousand years ago during the end of the last glacial epoch. With the help of the "work" of the wind, a desert was formed on the site of the lake. There are no analogues of the Chara Desert on our planet. Instead of camels, reindeer sometimes wander into the Chara sands.

New Chara is a small dot on the map, located on the dark line that marks the railway.

1. Station Novaya Chara

The railway and the village are inextricably linked by strong bonds, they were born together and exist together, supporting life in each other. New Chara emerged as a station on the BAM, which became a monument to the era in which this great highway was erected, as well as a monument to the state that decided on such a feat - the construction of railway tracks passing through a vast expanse of harsh and undeveloped lands.

2. Railroad

BAM stations were built by the republics of which that state consisted. Each republic designed and erected a station allocated to it and the village serving it, trying to leave a trace and memory of itself and its culture in the buildings. New Chara fell to build Kazakhstan. Therefore, on the walls of the railway station in Novaya Chara, there are bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the life of the Kazakh people. Perhaps the very outline of the station building bears the style of Kazakh architecture.

In any case, the railway station is a rather beautiful, cozy and, at the same time, modern and spacious building, which does not at all give the feeling that you have arrived in a small settlement far from civilization.
The railway station is surrounded by five-storey buildings, located on spacious, bright streets, which quickly lead to the edge of the village, where houses are simpler: wooden and sometimes rather dilapidated.

7.Prospectus

New Chara seemed to be concentrated near the station, which is the center of the life of almost every person in this miniature town. In fact, this is not far from the truth: the majority of jobs in Novaya Chara are provided by the railroad, and the village exists at the expense of it. In addition, the railway is almost the only thread connecting Novaya Chara and other stations-villages of BAM with the Big Earth. Of course, there is also a road dirt road next to the railway, but, driving along the BAM, sometimes I happened to notice that there is only a railway bridge across some rivers, and only fragments and memories of the automobile bridge remained. It seems that a full-fledged motor road becomes only in winter, when rivers and other troubles in the form of spills, mud and swamps completely freeze.

9. Road outside the village

It is worth walking to the edge of the village, and this can be done in about thirty minutes, as you will need rubber boots to walk through the swamps, and thick clothes that allow you to wade through the tenacious larch forest, but in the village itself people walk along the streets in coats and shoes, and in general, they lead an ordinary life.

12. Spring in Novaya Chara

And Novaya Chara itself is quite similar to any other small town located in the more densely populated parts of the country. There are also shops and schools, a museum and a pharmacy. Children play ball in the stadium and skateboard. On the outskirts of the town, people live in private houses and plant vegetable gardens. Unless the pipes are laid not underground, but above it, and carefully hidden in special wooden shelters. And the beds in the gardens are also raised above the ground and are long rectangular boxes covered with soil.

The ordinary life of a small town exists on a small stretch of space surrounded by swamps, forests, rivers and mountains - many kilometers of wild undeveloped land. Isn't this the attraction and charm of the New Chara? Or maybe the matter is in her stubbornness, resilience and firm intention to support this little flame, the center of civilization, on a vast, harsh and wild territory?
