Russian railways furloughs staff amid a freight traffic slump.

Russia’s state-run railroad operator has begun furloughing some of its staff due to a sharp decline in freight traffic reports RBC news outlet.

Freight volumes have dropped significantly since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. After falling 3.9% that year and 0.2% in 2023, freight traffic saw its steepest decline in 15 years in 2024, down 4.1%.

It looks like there is already a working freight rail link running through Russia and it is twice as fast but dramatically more expensive, mostly used by #Foxconn

#freight rates are the prices that shipping companies charge to transport #cargo over sea routes. These rates fluctuate based on: #demand for ships #route risks (e.g., war, piracy, weather), #fuel prices, #vessel availability and #insurance costs.

#Russian military freight train blown up

“The #Muscovites’ key #logistical artery on the occupied territory of #Zaporizhzhia Oblast and #Crimea has been destroyed,” HUR’s statement said.

The agency stopped short of claiming responsibility for blowing up the Russian train station in southern Zaporizhzhia Oblast, but said "the fight against the #military logistics of the #Russian occupiers continues."
