Talk:Chop, Ukraine

Hm, hm. Maybe try to look at the map and you´ll see, that the westernmost part of Ukraine land isn´t near Chop, but near Uzhhorod: http://www.mapy.cz/#mm=ZTtTcP@x=151246848@y=131127296@z=9 Here it looks like it should be Pallo (Mali Selmentsi or Solomonovo), which isn´t near Chop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.49.113.96 (talk) 16:51, 8 September 2010 (UTC) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Railway Station Photo: The photo of the railway station is only ONE of the railway stations! This is the original, pre-Soviet station building, which (I assume) has been restored since 1990 and now handles local trains. Right next door to it (sharing the same platforms) is the building that WAS the station for most of post-war Chop/Csap, and which is now used only for international trains. Very much in contrast to the building shown in the article, the international station is a hideous Soviet brutalist/modernist building - which is in serious need of some TLC (in 2010, the last time we were there, it still had the worst toilets I have ever had the misfortune to use). It does have some pretty impressive Soviet art inside though, with both long walls of the ticket hall emblazoned with massive 'workers and peasants' murals.

Unfortunately, from the international traveler's perspective, although the two stations are next to each other, the view of the original station is blocked by buildings in-between. So, it's quite likely, even if you spend the obligatory several hours hanging about waiting for the authorities to do/open something, that you won't actually see the older building.

I would happily post photos of the other railway station, the murals, and bits of Chop/Csap itself, if I only knew how... But, if you Google 'Chop railway station' and select 'images', there are plenty of pictures of the station, the murals, and Chop/Csap itself.
