Railway workers, together with contractors, promptly treat the territories of railway stations and stations, sprinkle platforms with sand and reagents. In addition, the staff checked the operability of the automatic anti-icing system of the contact network, as well as the readiness of the rolling stock. The specialists made sure that the electrical equipment, braking, pneumatic, mechanical and diesel equipment, the crew, traction and auxiliary electric machines, safety devices and radio communications are in good working order.

, and do not overtake at the crossing.
In addition, for personal safety reasons, you should make sure that the vehicle is properly equipped before traveling: check the braking equipment and tire compliance with weather conditions.
