Today’s borders & background

New borders crossed today:
Slovenské Nové Mesto 🇸🇰 – Sátoraljaújhely 🇭🇺
Borša 🇸🇰 – Sátoraljaújhely 🇭🇺
Chop 🇺🇦 – Záhony 🇭🇺
Bakosh 🇺🇦 – Eperjeske Rendező 🇭🇺
Uzhhorod 🇺🇦 – Maťovské Vojkovce 🇸🇰
Chop 🇺🇦 – Čierna nad Tisou 🇸🇰

This is going to be an amazing and confusing day – where the borders of SK, HU and Ukraine come together. A clash of gauges, electrification systems, railway lines crossing rivers but no parallel roads anywhere. But spurred on by war in Ukraine, plans are afoot to improve it all.
