According to the official handbook Imperial Russian Government Loans (London, 1911), the proportion of government-guaranteed capital in the Vladikavkaz Railway was similar to that of other railways: in 1911 the outstanding capital of the Railway stood at 8 million rubles of shares (not guaranteed) and 176 million of government-guaranteed bonds.
