Home > Railways in Russia: Cargo train at dawn

Four section electric locomotive is moving long and heavy cargo train at dawn on Russian railway somewhere on approach way to Urals. In fact this is rarity locomotive. It was built as far back as in 1979 in Soviet Union. The model name is VL10U (Vladimir Lenin 10 heavy-weight). This model was developed in a plant in Tbilisi (now Georgia). Did you ever hear for any modern locomotive factory there? It's not clear on the picture, but still you can make out a red star above the red line at the front. It's early in the morning, sun just come up from behind the mountain and a morning mist is around.
