Either the railway map is painted incorrectly around Vilnius or there is some other problem.
Starting at repaired hex 59-50, you can repair to 62-50 without going through 59-51, which according to the map you should have to. (Start 59-50, 60-50, 61-50, 61-51, 62-52)
Additionally, you can start and finish in the same hexes as above, by repairing hex 59-51 and missing Vilnius altogether. (Start 59-50, 59-51, 60-51, 61-51, 62-52)

Rail repair can move offline, it does not necessarily follow contiguous rail exes. Watch out !

Trains cannot go cross-country, they have to follow the track. [:D]
So if the track bends around the repair units have to follow it, not just skip a section.

I did this myself once in one of my first PBEMs. It's a costly mistake as your FBD unit has to back track to repair that odd loop track south of Vilnius. It ends up costing you at least a turn in the eastward advancement of your railhead. As a result of my past boo-boo, I'm now doubly careful about checking that track repair is contiguous to avoid FBD backtracking.
