Coal across a break in gauge (Standard/Russian)
There is some talk of Ukraine urgently obtaining large amounts of coal from Poland. But for the break of gauge, such shipments would obviously go entirely by rail. Perhaps a little by road.
An alternative is to ship by rail from mine to a Baltic port, by sea to a Black sea port and by rail from there to Kiev region.
Does infrastructure exist to move lots of coal across a break in gauge between long distance railways? Poland/Ukraine? Elsewhere in the world? If not what would it look like?
PRETTY PLEASE can we not get into war/politics issues and questions of where the money is to come from. But stick to railway matters.
Thank you.
