Since the beginning of November 2015, an average of 8,597 wagons a day have been loaded at stations in the Kuzbass region, up from 8,414 wagons per day during November in 2014.

The largest shippers in the region account for most of the growth in loading: OJSC SUEK-Kuzbass, OJSC Kyzbassrazrezygol, CJSC Holding Company SDS-Ugol, JSC Raspadskaya Coal Company, Coal Company Zarechnaya LLC.
