After allowing private companies to buy freight rail cars, the government wants to deregulate locomotives, Prime Minister Groysman told the Rada on Friday. He called for: “a deregulation similar to what we did on wagons, to make over the fleet and to give the opportunity to launch private traction for transportation.” Although private train services use national rail networks in other Eastern European countries, Ukrzaliznytsia has warned this would lead to chaos in Ukraine with the nation’s mix of freight and passenger trains on many single line tracks. Also clouding this proposal, it is unclear who will be President and Prime Minister one year from now.
