whoever wrote the captions doesn’t know the difference between steam and diesel
Many picture signatures doesn’t make sense…….
Great article. Are all pictures from the same museum?.
Is it St. Petersburg Railway Museum? I would love to go there. They seem to take good care of their locomotives.
Yes, all of these are from the same museum in St.Petersburg. But you better go there sooner than later. There is been talk about closing it for the past 3-4 years.

I love trains. I wish the railroads would become an important form of transportation again in the US. Any country that keeps their railroads is a smart country in my opinion.
Cars are cool, but they are an inefficient way to answer peoples need for transportation.
Oh look, even some of the most ancient pieces have an automatic coupler. Not even in 21st century Europe has this!
Very Good Information
