    Georgia-Russia railroad ferry line to open in late January

    By Tengiz Pachkoria

    A railroad ferry line between the Georgian port of Poti and the
    Russian port of Kavkaz on the Krasnodar territory will open in the
    end of January, a source in the Georgian Railroad Department told
    Itar-Tass on Sunday.

    At first the line will function once in three days, and each
    ferryboat will carry 24 train cars. The traffic may grow busier in
    the future. Georgia, Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Central Asia can
    use the ferry line.

    Georgian and Russian experts have coordinated the text of an
    agreement on opening the railroad ferry line. The agreement will be
    signed during a Georgian visit of Russian Transport Minister Igor
    Levitin on Monday.
