KYIV. Oct 24 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Latvian Railways is ready to lease some of unused locomotives to Ukraine.
According to an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent, such an initiative was announced by the director of production at the company at the international conference “Carriage Building and Rolling Stock Repairs” in Kyiv.
“We have free locomotives due to the fact that our carriers use more locomotives with a capacity of 6,000 hp. As we, the rolling stock service, are the owners of this rolling stock, I think we could lease them to Ukraine until you solve your problem with traction, we are ready,” he said.
Earlier Ukraine has repeatedly announced the problem of shortage of rolling stock and its critical wear and tear.
