Most of the leaders, journalists, diplomats going to Ukraine travel by Rail Force One. This is a slow moving luxury train, which runs only during the night. It covers a distance of 600 kilometers from Poland and reaches the capital of Ukraine, Kiev.

World leaders use the train

Different trains run in Ukraine but Rail Force One is the most special. It was designed for tourism in Crimea. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. Since then it has been used to transport world leaders and VIP guests. Many leaders including US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni have traveled in Rail Force One.

The train is equipped with state-of-the-art security measures

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky also uses this train to travel abroad. There are strong security arrangements. The train has been equipped with state-of-the-art security measures to ensure the safety of VIP passengers. It has highly secure communication systems. A team of high-tech security personnel keeps constant vigil. The train has been built in such a way that it can withstand extremely challenging situations.

This is the reason that till now there has been no complaint regarding security in this train. The interior of Rail Force One is very beautiful. Its rooms are like a luxurious hotel. The compartments of Rail Force One are made of wood. There is also a big conference table for important meetings. Apart from this, there is also a luxurious sofa and TV.

Diesel engines are fitted in the trains

To make train travel easier during war, Rail Force One has diesel engines instead of electric engines. In fact, Russia attacks Ukraine's electric grid along with the railway line. In such a situation, if the train has an electric grid, it will stop, whereas the diesel engine will not be affected. The credit for the success of Rail Force One goes to former CEO of Ukraine Railways and now Minister Alexander Kamyshin. He named this train Rail Force One after the journey of US President Joe Biden.
