Since the very beginning of the special military operation, Ukrainian servicemen tried all ways to block the path for the offensive of Russian forces by exploding tracks and destroying bridges while withdrawing.

Restoring the previous bridge could have taken too much time. This is why military railway professionals from the Western Military District (WMD) have installed a new crossing site from the ground up. Over 100 servicemen of special tactical battalion group had been fulfilling this task and, despite all the difficulties, have rapidly coped with it.

The new river crossing site is hardly any different from the previous one and is capable of serving for a very long time. Now, when all tracks are restored, the trains loaded with humanitarian goods for civilian population are about to depart.

Crew of Volga special train designed for engineering reconnaissance and track restoration in the special military operation area had commenced its action along the tracks restored damaged by Ukrainian servicemen and restored by professionals of WMD railway troops.

The train is equipped with armoured surface, the platforms carry armament, equipment and firepower, as well as shelters for firing and repelling enemy's attacks.

Volga special train was created by servicemen of the Western Military District (WMD) railway troops and entered into service. It is equipped with latest machinery and is designed for technical reconnaissance, mine clearance, as well as restoration of railway track and slightly damaged artificial structure.
