@Vasily.Semin Thanks! Small grain elevators like that are getting a bit rare to see anymore.

@zaps What are the wires on the right side of the track for?

@jmadhavadas Thanks for the complement! I like the scheme too, but unfortunately it belongs to the previous company that owned the railroad so who knows how much longer it will last.

@mattiasrikka The first Azerbaijani engine looks like it is stripped to its frame. Are the engines being transported for re-building somewhere?

If you zoom in on the conductor of the train you can see him giving the "sign of the horns" to the photographers. I know it can mean different things in different cultures, so I'm choosing to think he meant "rock on", like it is used by heavy metal music groups.

@slamdunk Hi Duncan, I think that is the heritage scheme for the original Norfolk Southern, not the Virginian.

@jmadhavadas They do look nice together. It's interesting to see how color "fashion" has changed from the the mostly purple and blue of the 1997 locomotive to the mostly gray of the 2020 engine.

@jmadhavadas Thanks!

@jmadhavadas How does the fireman get the coal from the bunker to the firebox?

@Andi70 Where is the gauge of this locomotive changed so it can run on 1435mm track instead of 1524 mm track? Is there run through service between Finland and Austria?

@Maersk.146 Thanks, Keith.
