Recently, RFE/RLs journalist and photographer Amos Chapple visited the site and came back with a moreauthentic story.
Near Orzhiv, the line splits into two.
Birch trees from across Ukraine are trucked in to the factory where they are turned into plywood panels.
Finished plywood panels are loaded onto large containers and hauled by trains to the Klevan railway junction.
From Klevan they are taken along the main trunk line to markets across West Europe.
The tunnel starts after a few hundred meters from the factory.
Apparently, the tunnel is hugely popular in Ukraine.
Couples and newly weds often have photo-shoots here.
The factory hasnt touched a tree since then.
The Odek plywood factory, in the village of Orzhiv.
These are the containers the plywood is loaded onto.
The line on the left runs to the military base.
The line on the right leads to Klevan.
