Chorny Mys

Chorny Mys (Russian: Чёрный Мыс, lit. Black Cape) is a village (selo) in the Komsomolsky District of Khabarovsky Krai, Russia. In 2011 it had 200 inhabitants.[1]

It is located on the right bank of the Amur River, around 120 km downstream from Komsomolsk-on-Amur. It was the furthest operational point of a branch railway from Selikhino built in the early 1950s by the Soviet Union under Stalin, intended to link to a tunnel to the island of Sakhalin. Construction of the tunnel was abandoned after Stalin's death, however the section as far as Chorny Mys had been completed and was kept open for logging industry traffic until the 1990s.
