[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] This article from The Times describes conditions for two Ukraians returning from Poland. They will have to change trains at the border as Polish rails are Standard Gauge and those within [URL=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/11/world/europe/ukraine-fighters-refugees-trains.html?unlocked_article_code=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEIPuomT1JKd6J17Vw1cRCfTTMQmqxCdw_PIxftm3iWka3DODm8biPsSGYyMvErQf617apwu3C6SRdlMdbEuS_xuw_VEelZgRRSnr5af3YgfKiQzssSzQmYyldrrbIwPzAXLPCO_Ofstg_q2pQ6HOzy9RqDa2SYqJw82vcczcl213XFYwrPPG8lxoV_3v8gA88sQmgEYjKY_KW9U2UIM92Hbx7c4gQ8SrsZDWmVxYjAnupGJAZCClvGT2d943I_675fOtAQP6X8L30waZa0wOVRWiEzctDfV9BmTJPUlr5qrbfLtRSPrcK3zPk2H61X16jW8_gVeS_J6YZh79nFt27Diw&smid=url-share] Ukraine[/URL] are Russian wide gauge. Fair Use: [i][list] [*]ABOARD THE PRAGUE-PRZEMYSL TRAIN — On the 12th night of the war, on a platform at Prague’s central train station, Vitali Slobodianiuk and Volodymyr Kotsyuba met for the first time. They had few things in common: both were Ukrainians working in construction sites in the Czech Republic. On that frigid evening, both got on a train back to Ukraine to join the fight against Russia’s invading army. Mr. Slobodianiuk, a 47-year-old former soldier, and Mr. Kotsyuba, a 35-year-old university graduate, shared a neat compartment on the sleeper train from Prague to the Polish-Ukrainian border town of Przemysl, sticking together, even though most carriages were virtually empty.[/i] [/list] There are reports elsewhere that Amtrak has been running trains with reduced consists simply because too many cars have been Bad Ordered. The reports also suggest that many of the Bad Orders result from "passenger convenience" items such as working toilets and light fixtures. Does anyone think a Ukranian fleeing the war zone would be "uh, too worried" about any of such? So long as the car could stay on the rails, I don't think they'd be too worried even if the failed parts were running gear. [/QB][/QUOTE]
