The Altsevo peat railway was constructed in 1962 in the Tonshayevsky District, and runs from the village of Pizhma to the swamp "Altsovsky Moss". The railway was built for hauling peat and workers and operates year-round with several pairs of trains a day. A peat briquette factory was built and put into operation in 2005.[1]
