Abstract The annual increase in cargo turnover to the Far Eastern seaports contributes to the optimization of the railway infrastructure in order to increase the level of throughput and processing capacity of the Baikal-Amur Mainline and Trans-Siberian Railway facilities. JSC Russian Railways pays special attention to these issues. Organization and promotion of car traffic through the formation of freight trains using the connection technology, “virtual coupling”, heavy and dual trains that move on an ongoing basis is one of the innovative methods for increasing the carrying capacity for highly loaded sections and directions at a level of utilization of their throughput of 0, 8 or more. Under these conditions, the organization of efficient power supply of railway sections and facilities is the main factor influencing the value of the throughput capacity of transport infrastructure facilities. The article presents a technical justification for the measure aimed at increasing the throughput and processing capacity of a section of a railway line, taking into account the stability check of the devices of the traction power supply system. The predicted parameters of the operation of the traction power supply system of the railway line section are given with a promising train schedule.
