Magdagachi (Template:Lang-ru) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Magdagachinsky District of Amur Oblast, Russia, located 367 kilometers (228 mi) northwest of Blagoveshchensk. Population: 12,208 (2002 Census);[1] 15,578 (1989 Soviet census).[2]
It was established in 1910 in connection with the construction of the Amur Railway; both the settlement and the railway station were named after the stream called Magdagachi, which flows into a tributary of the Amur River. Magdagachi was granted urban-type settlement status in 1938.
Transport
Magdagachi has a station on the Trans-Siberian Railway 7,494 kilometers (4,657 mi) from Moscow). The M58 "Amur" highway traverses it, but between Magdagachi and Chernyshevsk, there is effectively no vehicle road, so cars have to be transported by train.[3]
There is also a small regional airport (IATA Code GDG, UHBI), but it is not currently in service.
