Two new railway sections built on border with Romania – Kamyshin
KYIV. Aug 27 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine has opened two new sections of the railway on the border with Romania, said Oleksandr Kamyshin, head of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia.
"Rakhiv-Berlibash-the state border and Teresva-the state border. These are 19.3 km and 1.1 km of the new track, which were built by our railway workers in a record 2 months. These two sections in the future will become the third and fourth junctions on the border with Romania – our busiest direction. Their opening will allow sending an additional 6 pairs of freight trains per day. This is an additional 3.5 million tonnes of cargo per year," Kamyshin said on Telegram.
In addition, according to him, these two sections open up prospects for new passenger directions – interregional communication between Uzhgorod and Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi, as well as international routes between Ukrainian and Romanian cities both from Uzhgorod and from Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi.
"But this will become possible immediately after our Romanian colleagues repair their part of the site. By this time, suburban diesel train No. 6441/6442 Kolomyia-Rakhiv-Kolomyia will run along this section, the route of which has already been extended to the Dilove station on the border with Romania," Kamyshin said.
