Selikhino

Selikhino (Russian: Селихино) is a village (selo) in the Komsomolsky District of Khabarovsky Krai, Russia. In 2011, it had 4,332 inhabitants.[1]

It is located on the Baikal Amur Mainline railway, shortly after the railway leaves Komsomolsk-on-Amur towards Sovetskaya Gavan. Selikhino was the junction station for a railway 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 railway had already been built as far as Chorny Mys; this section was kept open for logging industry traffic until the 1990s.
