Unity moves on common tracks. 🇺🇦🛤️🇪🇺

Ukraine’s first EU-gauge railway between Uzhhorod and Chop is now open, backed by €28.6 million from the EU’s Connecting Europe and Ukraine Facilities.

This means:

✅ Faster border crossing
✅ More trade
✅ Better links to 🇸🇰🇭🇺🇦🇹 – and beyond

Part of the EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes, this project will help bring Ukraine closer to the EU.

We #StandWithUkraine as it rolls forward towards 🇪🇺 🚆

@EUCommission I don't know if you realize how many #railroad fans are now reading up on #railroadTrack in Ukraine, Slovakia, and nearby places. It is a whole mix of broad gauge (1520 mm) and standard gauge (1435mm).

#Railroad industry first warned about this nasty vulnerability in 2005.

Freight trains in the U.S. use a radio link between front and rear, designed around 40 years ago. It’s emerged that the Flashing Rear End Device (#FRED) can be told to slam on the brakes via an extremely weak wireless protocol.

The latest researcher to signal the problem says, “You could shutdown the entire railway system.” In #SBBlogwatch, we get to the points.
