FDC + Postage set Heroic Professions. Iron People

Description:

The "Heroic Professions" postal series is dedicated to people of various specialties who work bravely and selflessly for the victory of Ukraine. The series began in 2023 with the "Warriors of Light. Warriors of Good" and continues with the "Iron Men" issue, which is dedicated to the heroic work of railway workers. During the large-scale war, Ukrzaliznytsia became a symbol of national resilience: evacuation of more than 4 million people, uninterrupted freight and passenger traffic, fire and repair assistance in eliminating the consequences of missile strikes, and restoration of communication to de-occupied cities. “Iron Men” postal block is one of the many stories of heroism and resilience of railway workers. May 3, 2023: shelling of Kherson, a hit to the train station - a carriage is on fire, a conductor is wounded. Despite the chaos and air raid alert, the railway workers acted in a coordinated and professional manner: they unhooked the flaming car, provided medical assistance to the conductor, and quickly put passengers into the surviving cars. Train #109 Kherson – Lviv departed from Kherson station with a 14-minute delay. And on May 4, at 10:18 a.m., it arrived in Lviv on schedule. Thanks to the courageous work of the railroaders, the passengers were rescued and taken to safety! Today, in wartime, Ukrzaliznytsia continues to transport passengers, including world politicians, launching new international routes, developing passenger services, and creating a barrier-free environment.


Railway worker's day is a professional holiday of railway workers. In Ukraine, it is celebrated annually on November 4.

Russia's brutal war against Ukraine destroyed the usual way of life and forced many Ukrainians to move from their homes. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the state railway has become the only salvation for millions of Ukrainians who were forced to flee to safer cities. Railway workers heroically perform their duties every day and invest their work in a cause that serves the benefit of the entire Ukrainian state.

Ukrainian Railways (Ukrainian: Ukrzaliznytsia, abbreviated as UZ) is a state-owned joint-stock company administering railway infrastructure and rail transport in Ukraine; a monopoly that controls the vast majority of the railroad transportation in the country. Ukrainian Railways is the world's 6th largest rail passenger transporter and world's 7th largest freight transporter. As of 2020, the total length of the main broad-gauge (1,520 mm) railroad network was 19,787 kilometres (12,295 mi), making it the 13th largest in the world.
