4. If Ukrainian grain exported cars, it would train thousands of kilometers in length. But if someone wanted to download all export corn in grain cars, then took a train length of 3.7 thousand. Km - the distance from Kiev to Madrid.
And if you do the same with wheat, which Ukraine exported 11.5 million tons, the train will stretch from Kiev to London - 2.38 thousand. Km.
