With Ukraine’s railroad starting the largest renovation of its rolling stock since the Soviet era, two US companies sent executives to Kyiv this week to explore the possibility of manufacturing freight cars here. Meeting with officials and business leaders were executives of Amsted Rail, from Chicago, and of Greenbrier, an Oregon company that manufactures rail cars in Poland and Romania. As measured by ‘ton kilometers,’ Ukraine has the seventh largest cargo railroad in the world.
