Ukrainian Railways

Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) (Ukrainian: Укрзалізниця) is the state railway network operator in Ukraine, a monopoly that controls vast majority of the railroad transportation in the country[2]  with a combined total length of track of over 23,000 km, which makes the Ukrainian railroad network the 14th largest in the world. Ukrzaliznytsia is also the world's 6th largest rail passenger transporter and world's 7th largest freight transporter.

For more information, see: ===Independent Ukraine<span class="mw-editsection" style="user-select:none;font-size:small;font-weight:normal;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-right:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-left:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">On 24 September 1991, following the resolution of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) on separation from the Soviet Union, all railroad administration was temporarily passed to the South-Western Railways. According to the resolution, all assets located within the borders of the former Ukrainian SSR became property of Ukraine. To improve efficiency in such administration it was to create a special centralized administration. On 14 December 1991 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine issued a declaration No. 356 "In creation of the State Administration of Railroad Transportation in Ukraine" which proclaimed Ukrzaliznytsia a government body in administration railroad transportation uniting the six state railroad companies.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[6]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">As of late 2015 the Ukrainian government is transforming the railways into a public joint-stock company named Ukrainian Railways (Ukrainian: Ukrainska Zaliznytsia).<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[7] ==Administrative structure<span class="mw-editsection" style="user-select:none;font-size:small;font-weight:normal;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-right:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-left:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == Subdivisions of Ukrainian Railways<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The railways are split into six territorial railway companies: Donets'k, Lviv, Odessa, Southern, South-Western and Near-Dnipro. The subdivision is purely administrative as it doesn't correspond to the particular railway lines or branches. The names of regional railways are purely historic, inherited from the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires. For instance, the 'South-Western Railway' actually operates the 'north-central' part of Ukraine's rail network. The 'Southern Railway' actually operates in the east of the country, whilst the Near-Dnipro Railways are the southernmost. A UZ Intercity+ service operated by a HRCS2 multiple unit awaits departure at Dnipropetrovsk's main station.<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The six separate territorial railways each have their own directorates, located in the following cities: <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The territorial railways are further divided into several territorial administrations, usually four or five. Such division helps in assignment of commuter railway lines depending on location. ===Financial situation<span class="mw-editsection" style="user-select:none;font-size:small;font-weight:normal;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-right:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-left:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">In 2008 the Ukrainian State Railways transported around 498.5 million tonnes of domestic freight and 69.8 million tonnes of international freight in transit through Ukrainian territory; freight transport figures were particularly high on transport Routes 3, 5 and 9, which saw a combined total of 105 million tonnes carried in 2008. Further to this, Ukrzaliznytsia served around 518.8 million passengers over the course of the year. The state railways ran with an annual consolidated budget of a little more than 40 billion ₴ (US$5 billion) in 2008.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">By the end of 2005 the railways had produced a profit equivalent to 1.76 billion ₴ (US$220 million) from all their operations including freight, passenger service, associated services and the operation of subsidiaries. The total capital invested in fixed assets of the State Railways is thought to be equivalent to around 22 billion ₴ (US$4.4 billion), however, depreciation of these fixed assets is estimated to be around 57%, or in terms of rolling stock, closer to 66.7%. ===Ranks<span class="mw-editsection" style="user-select:none;font-size:small;font-weight:normal;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-right:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-left:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ===

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">On 27 April 2011 in accordance with order № 504/2011 rail industry specialists developed a new classification system of passenger trains for Ukrainian Railways.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-12" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[12]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The development of a new classification system for passenger trains in Ukraine was made necessary by the need to inform customers (passengers) about the level of service quality they could expect to find in various passenger trains. The new system is based on the class of train and carriages.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Given the quality of the service provided UZ asked the following classes of passenger trains: <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The advantages of the new classification system include: full compliance with the classification of the European Union, compliance with Ukrainian and English names and abbreviations, clarity for customers, linguistic and semantic consistency and clarity for customers in Ukraine and compatibility with existing and future tariff policy. The system is also not far displaced from the previous classification system used for passenger trains on the territory of Ukraine and therefore should not cause major problems when introduced. ==Gallery<span class="mw-editsection" style="user-select:none;font-size:small;font-weight:normal;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-right:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-left:0.25em;color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == *<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Electric locomotive DS3-012 in Vinnytsia railway station. *<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">A D1 diesel multiple unit near Khust. *<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The 'Capital Express' branded train, en- route Kiev – Dnipropetrovsk *<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">An EPL2T multiple unitelectric multiple unit arrives in Lviv *<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">A D1 in Vorokhta. *<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Electric locomotive ЧС2-366 in Simferopol. *<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Ukrzalinytsia service cars in Kiev.
