Abstract
In 2022, the main testing centre of Russian railways, the Experimental Loop of the Railway Research Institute, turns 90 years old.
The experience accumulated by the Experimental Loop is unique at a global scale: at the time of its creation, it was the world's first designated testing area for the latest models of railway vehicles and materials.
The contribution of the Experimental Loop to the development of Soviet and Russian railways cannot be overestimated. A specially built proving ground and highly professional staff equipped with all the necessary tools made it possible to radically accelerate the development of new railway technologies and their implementation in the transportation process. The reputation and importance of the Experimental Loop is confirmed by the constant attention and visits of top state officials and industry leaders.
The presented historical essay shows the main stages in the development of the Experimental Loop, as well as its significance both for the transport industry of our country and for Russian railway science.
