BAGANUUR
Baganuur is one of nine districts of the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar. It is subdivided into six khoroos (subdistricts).
Baganuur is a distanced district, located as an exclave of 620 square kilometres (239 sq mi) on the border between the Töv and Khentii aimags. It was
created as a Soviet army base for the 12th Motor Rifle Division. Later the largest open-pit coal mine in Mongolia was built here. Baganuur city is one of
the largest industrial production locations in Mongolia, especially coal mining and would rank among the country's ten largest cities. There are efforts under
way to separate its administration from the capital to make it an independent city.
Transportation
Baganuur is the endpoint of a side line of the Trans-Mongolian Railway, which connects to the main line in Bagakhangai. Due to high operation cost, Mongolian
Railway had stopped passenger service on the Ulaanbaatar-Baganuur-Ulaanbaatar, although freight trains still normally transport coal to Ulaanbaatar and other
neighbouring towns. Baganuur is also accessible via 138 km of paved road completed in 2004.
