3:27 The people that were throwing flowers at each other were celebrating the couples married in Hindu tradition, you can see them exchange flower garland and chants you hear are for Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of the Supreme Lord Vishnu. These people are most likely a part of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. There is also a temple (ISKON) in the Kharkiv Oblast. Edit: Just found out there is also a International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKON) Temple in Odessa Oblast.

10:17 Also you should've been crossing the point when 25kV 50Hz ~ changes to 3kV = near the Kharkiv. They should've changing the loco to VL60 or CHS2 BTW they change locos mainly because of rule in which crews can't work on the train more then certain amount of time. Some time they keep two or more crews on board that change one another in specific stations. You can actually see that on train schedule that hanging inside the wagon - such trains change the numbers out of sudden.
@user-jz6hd7yr2p
@user-jz6hd7yr2p 9 ай бұрын
VL60 is almost all out of service due to their age. Trains from Odesa are pulled by VL80 / VL40u / ChS4 until Poltava (crew change happens in Pomichna or Znamyanka) and then in Poltava a bi-current loco VL82M replaces the previous locos. It can easily pass through a neutral voltage point in Ohyltsi without need of loco change. But all VL locos are supposed to be cargo ones, they're used for passenger trains due to shortage of specifically passenger ones in Odesa region.

You were lucky to have seats in a newer carriage, much more comfortable, which usually only commuting to Kyiv, or "branded" trains like this one. There are unfortunately plenty of old awful carriages, which our UZ railways can't get rid of yet... And, there're also third-class "platzkart" carriages too (which I personally prefer more, due to open space saloon, similar to a bus or an airplane, but with beds like in 2nd class).

Mu childhood experience if there was anything good in Soviet Union then it was these overnight trains (except toilets). Here I admire how advantages as carriage and cabin layout are kept but refurbished with better materials and slightly modernized in details. It opposes with modern consumerism where things are completely replaced as soon as new model is available. It opposes also some other video in this channel where old trains are used until collapse without any maintenance or even washing. Слава Україні!

There is nothing strange in this. The word "vauxhall" in the Russian Empire meant a place of entertainment. In the first years after the opening of the railway, each train was met with an orchestra; listening to music required a special building. And then it began to be used as a waiting hall and a place to sell tickets.

Hi, are you re-inventing the history again? In the USSR, many trains with routes had the names of birds (Burevestnik, Bely Aist, Vyatka). But now this relic of the past is an occasion for Ukrainian turbo patriotic pride painted in the colors of the flag and inserted Ukrainian tridents. But for some reason, the Soviet symbol was removed from the mother's homeland, but Ukrainians still continue to use everything Soviet.

Although I read here about this "Chaika" from Zaporozhye (the chaika train goes to Odessa, and Odessa itself was founded from a fortress on behalf of Catherine 2, whose monument was also demolished, I remind you) and I see that the same boats but with the name "Nasad/насадѣ" were used by ancient Russians, though not for robberies, with the first mentions from 1015. I see an interesting repetition of the Ukrainian Cossack history: lies, excessive pride, robberies

Compartment cars (4 bunks in a room, like the one in the video) and SV (2 bunks in a room) were built in the GDR by Amendorf plant. Flat-cart wagons (without compartmentalization) were built in Russia in Kalinin. Although in recent years, Ukraine has also built its own wagons, although not many at all, compared to the number of wagons of the Soviet period.

I do think that some trains in eastern parts of Ukraine did got cancelled due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which caused damage to railway tracks in this area.

when Russia annexed Crimea, all Ukrainian trains were still operating. I did a trip to Crimea in April 2014, there were delays in arrival and departure times, also a mess in timetables because Crimea switched to a Moscow time (1 hour difference). In April 2014 there was even no passport control from Ukrainian side. But everything was operating. When the war started on east of Ukraine, surprisingly trains were also still operating there, even though it was extremely dangerous. My friend told me she went from Kyiv to Mariupol and in Donetsk soldiers (not Ukrainians) with weapon entered the train and were checking everyone. At some point due to danger the trains to Donetsk and Lugansk stopped operating somewhere in the middle of 2014. The trains to Crimea were still operating till the very end of 2014. Since that time the railway infrastructure in east Ukraine in the parts that are not controlled by Ukraine are in a very sad condition. In Crimea the situation is better because Russia has organised Russian trains there. I was at East Ukraine in 2018 and at that year the situation was relatively calm, so many Ukrainian regional trains started coming right to the frontline, a few hundred meters from the trenches of the military. But that's only about regional trains, as for sleepers like in this video, they didn't go so far. I also heard that there was even a train going to Avdeevka, which is extremely close to the frontline, from the top of the houses there you can see Donetsk. So if not a full-scale invasion, I am sure that everything would have been fine. As for 2022, there was so big mess with the full-scale invasion... There's a video on the KZbin that the Russian tank is crossing the railway just in front of the moving passenger train... People say that happened somewhere on the South of Ukraine, in the area which is now occupied. In February-March some trains were delayed for DAYS, not just hours. At the moment it's back to some schedule and Ukrainians are joking that trains in Ukraine are more punctual that in European countries even though there's a full-scale war... but of course a lot of infrastructure is ruined.

A taste of what Ukrainian culture feels and sounds like before pointlessly being destroyed by war. Beautiful countries like these are too important to be wiped out, especially having some of the most friendly citizens you'll ever meet. Normality and peace will return in the future. For now, we should look back and enjoy the oddities of this antique but fascinating Ukrainian railway system. _Slava Ukraini!_ 🇺🇦
