Railroad workers, who repair tracks and power lines after rocket attacks and shelling, follow the sappers.

Restoration work takes only a few hours, especially during the war - trains cannot wait long.

Since February 24, only the Dnipro railway has been attacked by Russian terrorists more than 300 times.

However, it never stopped transportation. 

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the work has increased many times, repairmen say.

After each arrival by rail, they go to the place together with the rescuers.

In most cases, it is necessary to completely change the rails.

"They are no longer suitable, because they sometimes get punched through, dented, they have to be completely replaced, and there may be microcracks inside," says track fitter Maksym Korobchenko. 

No matter how serious the damage is, track fitters have only a few hours to restore the movement of trains.

Electromechanics, who repair wires and the network, are hired for repairmen.

The contact network is the first thing that is destroyed by missile strikes and shelling, without it the work of the railway comes to a complete halt.

Over the past 8 months, installers have restored kilometers of wires.

"We are changing wires, supports, metal structures, which are necessary to restore the movement of trains.

We may have a temporary restoration for the passage of trains, and then we restore it when time allows," the electromechanics explain.

The scariest accident that had to be eliminated is a series of rocket

in the Synelnyk district of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

On August 24, on Independence Day, the Russians fired 8 rockets at it.

Then 25 civilians died, including three railway workers.

But despite the emotions, the repairmen managed to control themselves and got to work.

"When emergency recovery teams arrive at the sites of these flights, it's scary.

We talked to our people, everyone is scared, all living people.

But in 10-15 minutes, the adaptation of the workers takes place and they begin to perform their work, as before the war", - convinces the deputy head of the distance from the contact network Andriy Plotnikov.

Dozens of wagons that turned into scrap, mutilated tracks and fragments of rockets all around - these were the conditions the railroad workers had to work in at that time.

Railway workers were able to completely eliminate the consequences of the impact of eight missiles in just seven hours.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Dnipro railway alone has suffered various damages more than 300 times, all of which were eliminated as quickly as possible so as not to delay the movement to victory.
