Ukrzaliznytsia placed another order for switch turnout assemblies for 313 million UAH. But unlike many state institutions, it has practically not changed the dollar price of these iron parts compared with other years. Although one could talk about industrial inflation, the brazen behavior of a monopoly manufacturer, the global rise in steel prices by 14% and other hardships of wartime life.
In particular, R65-type switch turnouts for 1/9 track gauge 1520 were ordered for 2,30 million UAH, or $51 276. In August 2025 the railway ordered them for 2,09 million UAH, or $50 806, which was 1% cheaper in dollars.
So listen less to the chekists and their PR aces who are interested in bringing back the old ways to the railway)))
