Today our walk will be not only spectacular, but also informative. It will be held in the suburbs of Kirov-Chepetsk, Kirov region. We will ride to the settlement of Karintorf on a real narrow-gauge railway, visit the fields where peat was once mined, and, most importantly, find out why Karinskaya narrow-gauge railway is still alive today, although peat mining has not been carried out for several years.
In the twenty-first century, there is no place for narrow gauges on the map of the country, although at one time they made a considerable contribution to its development. There are fewer and fewer active narrow-gauge railways every day, rails are being dismantled, and rolling stock is being disposed of in scrap metal. Many settlements die along with the road. We advocate the preservation of the Karinskaya narrow gauge railway, at least as a tourist route.
