Pogibi

During the years 1950–53, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin began construction of a tunnel linking Sakhalin with the mainland, with its western (mainland) portal at Cape Lazarev and its eastern (island) portal at Pogibi. The project would have also entailed building a railway connecting Pogibi with the settlement of Pobedino in central Sakhalin, which at the time was the northernmost extent of the Sakhalin Railway.[http://www.sakhalin.ru/Region/tunnel/build.htm Maps of Sakhalin rail system around Pobedino dating from 1945-1986] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614032101/http://www.sakhalin.ru/Region/tunnel/build.htm |date=2011-06-14 }} Construction stopped after Stalin's death, without any new track having built on Sakhalin; however the island's rail system was later extended northwards to Nogliki and Okha.

There have recently been new proposals to build either a bridge or a tunnel to connect the railway systems of the mainland and Sakhalin,{{cite web| url=http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view//sakhalin-link-proposed.html| title=Sakhalin link proposed| date=16 January 2009| work=Railway Gazette International| url-status=dead| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120516201540/http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/sakhalin-link-proposed.html| archivedate=16 May 2012}} which again would enter the island via Cape Pogibi. Should the railway systems be connected by this bridge, the narrow gauge ({{RailGauge|1067mm}}) tracks on the island would be converted to the {{RailGauge|1520mm}} gauge of the mainland.
