Padunskie Porogi Railway Station Live Cam, Bratsk

Padunskie Porogi is a railway station on the East Siberian Railway, located in the Padun District of Bratsk. It plays an important role in both passenger and freight transportation, linking Bratsk with other regions of Eastern Siberia. The station lies on the Tayshet–Lena line of the East Siberian Railway, in the southern part of the city, near the large residential districts of Padun, Energetik, and Gidrostroitel.

The station was established in 1961 during the construction of a bypass rail section around the newly formed Bratsk Reservoir (also known as the Bratsk Sea). It takes its name from the nearby Padun Rapids on the Angara River. The current passenger terminal was built and officially opened in December 2012 as part of a regional transportation infrastructure modernization project.

The terminal complex covers about 2,500 square meters and consists of a two-story building. The first floor houses ticket offices, an information desk, a medical station, a buffet, and service facilities. The second floor features a waiting hall, passenger rest rooms, a café, and a free Wi-Fi zone. The basement includes storage lockers, restrooms, and shower facilities. The station has two low passenger platforms: a side platform about 430 meters long and an island platform about 330 meters long. A parking area for 70 cars is available near the terminal.

Padunskie Porogi serves both long-distance trains and suburban electric trains. Routes passing through the station include Moscow–Neryungri, Krasnoyarsk–Severobaikalsk, Irkutsk–Ust-Ilimsk, as well as regional services to Vikhorevka, Lensk, and other destinations.
