  We analytically study shock wave in the Josephson transmission line (JTL) in
the presence of ohmic dissipation. When ohmic resistors shunt the Josephson
junctions (JJ) or are introduced in series with the ground capacitors the shock
is broadened. When ohmic resistors are in series with the JJ, the shock remains
sharp, same as it was in the absence of dissipation. In all the cases
considered, ohmic resistors don't influence the shock propagation velocity. We
study an alternative to the shock wave - an expansion fan - in the framework of
the simple wave approximation for the dissipationless JTL and formulate the
generalization of the approximation for the JTL with ohmic dissipation.
