Railway workers plan to utilize 310 units of track machinery and 2640 units of special rolling stock based on freight cars for repair work over the year.

Additionally, in 2024, they intend to restore structures damaged due to combat actions.

“The aim of each repair is to ensure safe and stable train operations. Repair work will not affect the rhythm of passenger transportation,” the company assured.

As reported earlier, the volume of Ukrzaliznytsia’s track repairs increased by almost 20% in 2023.
