Railway tracks in Russia's Saratov, Yaroslavl, and Nizhny Novgorod oblasts have been targeted in sabotage attacks
"Unknown opponents of Putin's regime once again burned several relay cabinets on the railway" and other parts of the track used for military logistics, the #HUR said.
The agency shared a video compilation of what appeared to show multiple arson attacks on relay boxes and other parts of track infrastructure.
As a result of the reported sabotage, railway traffic on certain track sections was "paralyzed," according to the HUR.

The Trans-Siberian Railway, historically known as the Great Siberian Route is a large railway system that connects European Russia to the Russian Far East. Spanning a length of over 9,289 kilometers (5,772 miles), it is the longest railway line in the world. It runs from the city of Moscow in the west to the city of Vladivostok in the east.
When the Orient Express began operating in the 19th century, passports were optional – the only paperwork required by British travellers was a copy of the Thomas Cook Continental Timetable.
But Brexit and 21st-century biometric checks are killing off the romance of crossing borders for modern passengers looking for the nostalgia of the luxury train journey that inspired Agatha Christie and Hollywood.
Belmond, the company that runs today’s Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (VSOE), has decided to drop the London-to-Folkestone leg of the route because it has become too difficult to cross the border to Calais.

This is wrong.
Biden and Congressional Democrats are completely in the wrong about this.
If railways are this critical to the national economy (and they are) then we need to nationalize them!
Short of that either support railway workers or get out of the way.
