The first rails from Saarstahl Rail have arrived in Ukraine for reconstructing the rail network

The first rails produced at Saarstahl Rail started their journey to Ukraine last week from the Bahnlog site in Homburg-Kirkel.

Now they have been officially handed over for their intended purpose in Ukraine – with French political representatives and representatives of Saarstahl Rail attending.

The French Ministry of Finance had granted a loan of EUR 37.6 million to manufacture and ship 20,000 tons of rails, which can be used to repair almost 150 kilometers of railroad tracks in Ukraine.
