Different [[ore]] mines and [[Industry|industries]] are also connected to the line. The line has a single track. Originally, it was done as a [[narrow-gauge railway]] (gauge: 1m); later it was re-done as a Russian standard gauge (of 1.5m). It used to be electrified, but this was removed in the 1990s. Since then it only runs [[freight train]]s. A paved [[highway]] from Dudinka to Norilsk was built in the 1990s; since then, the Norilsk railway no longer runs passenger services. The railway is owned by the mining company. The line has a length of a bit over {{Convert|100|km||abbr=}}, in total there are over {{convert|300|km}} of track.
