The Romanian Rail Company (CFR) will mobilize team of workers in Galați to start modifying railways so as to allow freight transports from Ukraine and Moldova to enter Romania. A total of 5 kilometers of rail will be rehabilitated within 60 days to ensure the transport of grain from Ukraine, disrupted by Russia’s invasion. The company has the necessary cranes and vehicles allowing the transfer of cars from the broad gauge used in Russia and ex-Soviet countries to the standard gauge used in the EU. To simplify the procedure, the Romanian Transport Ministry decided to render operational a double-gauge track that was decommissioned 30 years ago in order to allow the freight trains from Moldova to unload the cars directly in the cargo boats docked in Danube River ports.
