Electrification of the Far Eastern Railway began from the final point of the Trans-Siberian Railway – the Vladivostok railway junction.
The electrification of sections of domestic railways was accompanied by the electrification of adjacent areas, becoming a powerful incentive for production growth. In the spring of 1966, on the initiative of Viktor Alekseevich Bessonov, the first student construction team in the Far East, Energia, consisting of 100 people, was formed on the basis of the Faculty of Electrification of Railways. That year, from July to September, the detachment’s soldiers laid 50 km of 10 kV power lines and electrified four villages in the Jewish Autonomous Region.
