Do Mixed Trains Still Exist Here?

Do Mixed Trains Still Exist Here? -- Shortly after the international train to Poland passed, a local train arrived at Starzhava station, where the broad-gauge track ends. Coupled behind the passenger wagons were two freight wagons loaded with timber, most likely from Khyriv. The train is scheduled to depart for Sambir in the evening, and the freight wagons were brought along now to avoid a lengthy shunting maneuver, sparing the passengers the loss of time during the journey back. Organising mixed trains is a complicated thing, no wonder they’ve disappeared from almost everywhere. -- Starzhava, 8 May 2010, 17:53
