Same Train station that Stalin send his enemies are being used by Ukrainans that crazy part of the story Ternopil and Lviv, Ukraine (CNN)A muffled sound cuts through the dim room enveloped in long, dark curtains. A Soviet-era closed-circuit phone system blares a message in Ukrainian to six men, half of whom are dressed in military green. But they're not military men, they're the executives of Ukrainian Railways. The seemingly obsolete system, dotted with buttons and knobs, connects them to all of Ukraine's rail stations, of which there are about 1,450, according to Ukrainian Railways. When the cellphone service failed in key stations after the Russian invasion, the dated system became indispensable for their twice-daily meetings, which are held to get an overview of what is happening on the ground. www.cnn.com/2022/03/14/europe/ukrainian-railways-war-intl-cmd/index.html?utm_content=2022-03-14T18%3A00%3A06&utm_term=link&utm_source=fbCNN&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR3PP4RHMid1Ub87jSS8lLbsfmVUHq3KkQ_vZLBkigKepAQJToV0_X4_fMc
