...if I was building something like this there would have been some kind of track or other pulling device that could have worked as simply as a a rope pulley with the device doing the work being at the end of the pipeline being powered there rather than having the power on the sled / trolley itself. Maybe similar to the thingy that pulls ya car thru the car wash.

Re: “...nine miles is a long way to crawl.”
I assume that the Russians built some little electric sleds with a 20 mile or better range. One or two soldiers per sled... zipping to the far end at which point they either send the sled back... perhaps with a driver but maybe not, or hold onto the sled until a bunch of sleds and soldiers have arrived and send them all back at once. The latter approach would be waaaaaay faster. At the origin, all they'd need to do would be to swap out the battery and put a sled back into use. Someone said that the pipes may have been built with tracks in them... in which case this would have been even easier.
