In particular, a special automatic mechanism will be installed on the Kaliningrad railway line to convert trains from a European to a Russian gauge. He said that the work should be completed by this summer, and that the train would be 'in great demand, as there is now a heightened interest about Russia in Germany.' If the line proves successful, it could be extended to Moscow, he said. A regular express train will be scheduled from May to October 2005.
