Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian: Укрзалізниця), also known as Ukrainian Railways, is the State Administration of Railroad Transportation in Ukraine, a monopoly that controls vast majority of the railroad transportation in the country with a combined total length of track of over 23,000 km, which makes the Ukrainian railroad network the 14th largest in the world as its mentioned in Ukraine rail map. Ukrzaliznytsia is also the world 6th largest rail passenger transporter and world 7th largest freight transporter. State Administration of Railroad Transportation is subordinated to the Ministry of Infrastructure, administering the railways through the 6 territorial railway companies, which in turn immediately control and provide of all aspects of the railroad transportation and maintenance in a unified way under the common Ukrzaliznytsia brand. The general director of the administration is appointed by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
Ukrain railways are split into 6 territorial railway companies as you can see in Ukraine rail map: Donets'k, Lviv, Odessa, Southern, South-Western and Near-Dnipro. The subdivision is purely administrative as it does not correspond to the particular railway lines or branches. The names of regional railways are purely historic, inherited from the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires. For instance, the 'South-Western Railway' actually operates the 'north-central' part of Ukraine rail network. The 'Southern Railway' actually operates in the east of the country, whilst the Near-Dnipro Railways are the southern-most. The six separate territorial railways each have their own directorates, located in the following cities: Donetsk Railway – Donetsk, Lviv Railway – Lviv, Odessa Railway – Odessa, Southern Railway – Kharkiv, Southwestern Railway – Kiev, Near-Dnipro Railway – Dnipropetrovsk.
The Ukrainian railway network is permanently undergoing large scale reconstruction, mainly in order to reduce operating costs, inherited from the Soviet economy, and to implement higher speeds of passenger services. Particularly, around 4000 sets of switches have already been upgraded. The full extent of the railway system in Ukraine administrated by Ukrzaliznytsia is currently put at around 22,300 km, of which 9,752 km (44.3%) is fully electrified with the use of the overhead wire as its shown in Ukraine rail map. The network is fully interconnected, central-dispatched and consists of 1,648 stations of all sizes spread throughout the country. The largest stations are Nyzhnodniprovsk-Vuzol (in the city of Dnipropetrovsk) and Darnytsia (in the capital Kiev) – both freight.
