European Railroad Discussion > Freight train meet on the Danube Delta, UkraineDate: 08/05/21 14:04 Freight train meet on the Danube Delta, Ukraine Author: gobbl3gook In November 2017 I was bicycling southwest along the Danube Delta in Ukraine.
The rail line south from Odessa to the Danube runs along the highway part of the way. And I noted a northbound freight in a siding, with a green signal for a southbound. Anticipating a meet, I stopped, and within a minute or two the southbound rolled through. Then the northbound pulled out. A nice bit of luck for me, on a section of highway without a lot of scenery otherwise. Ukrainian trains have a lot more deep rumbles in their sound profile than European-gauge trains. And when you get diesel engines instead of the more common electric, you get even more bass notes. Questions, comments, observations?
