METHOD OF TRANSPORT OVERCOMING OF WATER OBSTACLE IN AREAS OF ETERNAL CONGELATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC E21D9/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended to provide for the transport overcoming of a water obstacle in areas of eternal congelation in the form of rivers, lakes or summer flooding of large sections of the tundra using a bottom tunnel with a communication pocket. The method of transport overcoming a water obstacle in areas of eternal congelation is that this overcoming is carried out on a train along a bottom tunnel along a concave downward trajectory, loading vehicles into a structure comprising container platforms from the end of the train and unloading on the other shore from the other end of the train. To prevent damage to the airtightness of the carriage in case of emergence in a water-flooded tunnel, when dragging it along a flat horizontal reinforced concrete ceiling of the tunnel on the roof of the carriage, small non-drive wheels are used to contact the carriage with the tunnel ceiling. Use carriage-locomotives with two end control cabs.

EFFECT: ensuring the year-round fast and safe crossing of the water obstacle by rail transport carrying cars and their passengers in the same train while eternal congelation is preserved.
