"Gorochniy"?

Yes, mostly (Да, в основном).

An electric locomotive working at the hump ?
And catenary ending right up before the wagon retarder !
Seems enough special to me, never seen before ! Nice picture !

Yes, Kilroy1313. This is the end of his tracking. He will be to return on station for new vans.

On tracks of hump-yard works diesel-electric locomotives (shunters) ChME3.

Thank's for the info, Vadim. I see that this is not a shunting locomotive, but a classic train simply ending its work at the hump yard, this economizes work, as there is no need for a shunter.
