- 2024 September 4, Vitali Vitaliev, “A salute to Ukraine's 'Second Army'”, in RAIL, number 1017, page 47:
  It takes another good look to notice that the map shows the through route from Berlin Zoo to my native Kharkiv - referred to as Charkow Hauptbahnhof (or Hbf) - uninterrupted by any borders. You can also trace the 400 3356 service ('Zug Nr 3356') from Charkow to Slawjansk (Slovyansk in the Ukrainian transliteration) in Donbass, to where trains from today's Kharkiv are running again.
