MOSCOW. March 30 (Interfax-AVN) - An interstate expert team is working out a single plan of technical support which is to be provided to main railways in the Collective Security Treaty Organization's member states in an emergency period, Colonel Vasily Linenko, spokesman for the Russian Federal Railway Forces Service, said on Tuesday.
"Today the Federal Railway Forces Service hosted a regular session of the team which is working out a single plan of technical coverage of main railways in the Collective Security Treaty Organization's member states," Linenko told Interfax- Military News Agency.
A draft agreement on creating a technical coverage system has been worked out during the implementation of the main railways technical coverage concept, he said. The draft agreement was signed by chiefs of the organization's member states in April last year.
