Ukrainian Intelligence hit a gold mine on Russian Logistics in near real time!
The capture of Sudzha may not seem grand on a map but the capture of the railway station may allow Ukrainian Intelligence direct access into Russian Railway Computer Systems, Schedules, Train Consists, and internal Russian Railway Communications from Dispatch to Defect Detectors.
Sudzha station besides being part of the Lgov-Belgorod Line that I've highlighted previously is part of the Moscow Railway division, which must be causing panic in Russian High Command knowing that the enemy has real time capability to view your logistical movements.

Nice part is you can't really shut this thing off. A lot of those defect detectors and the signal sensors are automated. The only way you're shutting it off is if you go out there and rip the whole system apart. Which they're not going to do because that's insanely expensive and creates insane risk and safety issues for both passenger and freight rail and would leave trains out on the track completely blind as to what's in front of them so you can't really shut it off
Also, a lot of those systems transmit via radio automatically. They are tripped when a train goes by. So even if they lost access to the computer, they would now have the frequencies needed to listen in on those sensors and detectors. Which again you physically can't turn off unless you go out there and rip them apart which they're not going to do. The systems are designed so that the train out in the middle of nowhere has an ability to know if they are safe and to know what's in front of them and what's behind them. Can't shut it off
Then to get an idea of a dispatch center. Here's a short video. Doesn't explain much. It just shows it. Now dispatch center is different from a train station such as Sudzha but you can get an idea. A lot of this is going to be physically showing a dispatcher all of that radio information is being transmitted by all of these defect detectors and the signal sensors you can't turn it off can't fire wall it and even if the Russians drop a bomb on the train station, ukrainians are already likely have hauled away all the important information such as the train maps, the timetables, all physical documents, frequencies and can do with the old fashioned way if necessary. Listen to the radio and stare at a map with a pen and paper
There are more modern train dispatch centers that are more digitalized, but a lot of rail infrastructure is still living with pretty antiquated technologies. Not necessarily a bad thing in this day and age but it just really showcases how there's nothing to shut off really

It's also not just the train station.
Sudzha is the administrative capital of Sudzhanskyy Rayon so the amount of juicy intelligence sitting in the administrative buildings and this town is one giant intelligence Cash cow that Ukraine was able to seize with minimal casualties, minimal damage and more importantly was able to seize before Russian forces were able to destroy the documents and other useful intelligence in Sudzha.

You could if you went out to every single one of those detectors and cut the wires physically. But then you create a huge safety issue between freight and passenger rail and just general rail safety issues of trains running around. Not knowing if there's a training coming down at them because the signals wouldn't tell them what's ahead. Switches wouldn't be properly operated because they wouldn't know if there's a train there on top of the defect detectors which are designed to tell a train if there's something wrong so they can't really shut it off
@simon_wookey But at the end of the day you don't really need a computer monitor with a train map. Color coded when you can look at the raw information that comes in from the detectors and you can sit there looking at a railroad timetable that's how they used to do it
@Riyan4469 @ericspinder @GeViOz @Lowcant And then there's the fact that literally everything even today is still printed out on the railroads. Train consists maps. Everything is printed out so you're also going to have hard copies of at least everything up through the weekend
@Riyan4469 @ericspinder @GeViOz @Lowcant And then information on individual cars and locomotive's. You should be able to pull that up even if you're offline cuz it gets backed up all the time on top of hard copy reports
@Riyan4469 @ericspinder @GeViOz @Lowcant But in terms of the detectors and sensors that are out on the tracks. You can't shut those down unless you go out there and destroy it. But other data like no employee information, schedules, data on individual cars, stuff like that it's going to be a digital footprint
