In 2022, 30 locomotives were transferred to the region. In 2023, 23 locomotives and 11 suburban electric train sets, as well as thousands of units of transport and special equipment, were delivered.
According to Kommersant, the company will receive 6.7 billion rubles from the Russian federal budget in 2024 to cover losses. These funds will ensure the transportation of a guaranteed cargo base of 7.4 million tons of products from the mining and metallurgical industries. This is 25 times less than the transport volumes of 2012, but investments are necessary to maintain infrastructure in regions affected by hostilities.{{Cite web |date=2024-01-19 |title=Подъездные пути к субсидиям |url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/6456132 |access-date=2025-01-27 |website=Коммерсантъ |language=ru}}
