Wide gauge passenger carriages have reached Warszawa Wschodnia! For the first time since 2012

How was it? Thread ⬇️ Image Poland is the most popular international destination for 🇺🇦 passengers now. Direct train from Kyiv to Warsaw consists of 6-7 cars due to the deficit of RIC cars. Hubs operate in Przemyśl (5 trains daily) and Chełm (2 trains daily) at almost full capacity Image

Renaissance of #CrossBorderRail in 🇺🇦

Restoration of railway line Przemyśl (PL) - Khyriv (UA) - Krościenko (PL) is underway!

What is special about this railway?
Why is it useful for PKP?
And why did armed soviet border guards drive by the open doors of each carriage?

Thread⬇️ Railway was built in 1872 as part of the First Hungarian-Galician railway, which connected Budapest with Lviv

At that time, railway didn't cross any borders - it was Austro-Hungarian Empire. But after the end of WW2, track crossed 3 countries: Ukraine, Poland and Czechoslovakia

Finally! UZ and CFR have restored international railway connection between Rakhiv (UA) and Valea-Višeului (RO) in the Carpathians.

After a more than 10-year break, this region ceases to be a railway dead end. We have been waiting for this for a long time! At the end of August, Ukrainian railways completed restoration of 19.3 kilometers of tracks and was waiting for the completion of works on the Romanian side.

Another reason why I love being on this railway is that it's one of those places where you kind of forget about time. People here are as they are, there is a homely atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of big cities.

Authenticity lives in such places Image A package of fresh pies in conductor's compartment Image

Haivoron is an exotic place on the railway map of Ukraine. There are two gauge standards at local station: wide 1520 mm and narrow 750 mm. And if you are very lucky, you will see a real narrow-gauge steam locomotive. Reparation German loco 🙂 🧵 Image On the outskirts, narrow-gauge railway crosses the charming Pivdennyi Buh river, and than begins a considerable ascent from the river valley, steam and diesel locos have to strain a little here. Fishermen and sometimes kayakers are always hanging out near the bridge Image
