No electrification, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise!
Railway substation attacked, yet trains continue to operate normally.
Russian report dated August 26.
Ukrainian drones attacked Crimea, which is the largest scale of attacks compared to other regions in Russia.
Local sources reported that an aircraft landed at the railway substation.
What is most notable is that all trains passing through this area continued to run according to schedule.
It sounds funny, but Crimea is lucky.
At least because here, the principle of "no happiness, disaster comes to help" still applies.
Russians might be very surprised by one fact.
The large section between Kertch and Yenikale has not been electrified so far.
250 kilometers of freight and passenger trains are still pulled only by diesel locomotives.
Trains do not need electricity.
The next section from Yankoy to Simferopol has been electrified, using direct current, which allows electric locomotives to operate.
But large trains also connect to steam locomotives.
As early as 2019, the Russian president was informed about this issue.
Putin ordered an investigation and resolution of the problem.
The design documents for the electrification project on this section of the Russian Federal Railways have finally passed the national review and received approval.
The cost of the problem is 388 million rubles.
In fact, it has been six years, and almost no progress has been made in Crimea on the steppe.
The regional railway administration said there is a lack of funds.
At the initial stage of the special military operation, a very worrying situation was suddenly discovered.
The only railway line in Crimea fell directly within the range of attacks by Ukrainian armed forces.
Since then, attacks have become frequent.
Luckily, diesel locomotives are running on the railway.
