The great Tech Algorithm fed me a news article that I actually found interesting. It's about the mobile command train riding around Ukraine keeping the railways going. It also touched a little on the logistics behind running Ukraine Railways at this point in time:

Also, you will find from that article that Ukraine Railways does not have an official timetable at the moment, and they actually communicate their daily schedule through Facebook. If interested, you can find that Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/Ukrzaliznytsia

Shoutout to all the men and women for Ukrzaliznytsia keeping the railway moving. Drivers, depot staff, crossing guards, station staff, signalling staff.

Just from my own Google Map searches, Ukraine still seems to run a half electronic system, half semaphore/baton system. Lots of signal boxes can be found on Google Maps and following a railway line long enough.

While this post is okay, please be mindful of giving information away - even if it's public, it doesn't help to direct potentially nefarious actors straight to it. It's a bit like taking down street signs which doesn't stop attackers coming but it may help slow them down.
