Russia: Two 'Army of Victory' memorial trains met halfway in Yekaterinburg
Two “Army of Victory” trains met at the halfway point in Yekaterinburg on Friday after a week-long journey across Russia ahead of Victory Day.
Departing from the military districts of Irkutsk and Penza on the eastern and western edges of the country, the trains moved in each other's direction, while stopping on the way to let people admire the rolling stock. The WWII mobile exhibition on board carried legendary T-34 tanks, IS-3 tanks and SU-100 self-propelled units, as well as artillery and antiaircraft guns from WWII.

Rail enthusiasts fight to preserve steam locomotive graveyard
(28 Oct 2017) LEADIN:
A small area in Russia's Perm region has become a silent cemetery for abandoned steam locomotives, attracting tourists keen to photograph its old, rusting residents.
Rail enthusiasts are now attempting to preserve the forgotten location, perhaps even coax one of its engines back to life.
STORYLINE:
Near the village of Shumkovo, in Russia's central Perm region, lies a cemetery like no other.
Rather than weed-covered headstones, it's filled with ageing steam locomotives from the mid-20th century.
Sat upon rusty rails and gradually merging into the nearby forest, there are dozens of old locomotives - the oldest from 1936, the youngest from 1956.
During Russia's Soviet era, this stop served as a reserve railway base in the event of nuclear war.
But as electric gradually replaced steam power, these locomotives became history.
At first, around 140 remained docked here, the majority still capable of moving.
But as railway authorities slowed and eventually stopped their vital maintenance work, the base turned into this silent graveyard.
Manager Grigoriy Gordeyev has worked here for around 30 years.
He's resisted calls to have the locomotives broken down and turned into scrap metal, despite pressure from railway superiors.
You can see for yourself how they (the locomotives) are living out their lives, just standing there, he says.
People are interested, come (here), take photos, observe, it's our history after all.
Before we used to look after them, changed - dried boilers, put special granules so they would remain dry, and oiled them up, covered them in diesel. They would stand there all shiny and beautiful.
Dozens of locomotives have since been sold to Chinese owners and moved away.
Others now sit at memorial sites where railway machinery was once made, such as old stations or vehicle plants.
This graveyard steam engine has found a new lease of life here at the Museum of Military and Civil Technics (UGMK) in the Urals city of Verkhnyaya Pyshma.
An EM 716-66 steam engine, it was produced in 1931. During the Second World War, it was used to evacuate civilians and deliver ammunition.
When experts found it, it required major restoration work.
Now, the locomotive's exterior has been completely renovated, although museum technicians were unable to get it moving again.
It's now one the private museum's most valuable artefacts.
Many steam locomotives of the late 19th century, the early 20th (century), unfortunately were lost, says museum manager Alexander Yemelyanov.
That was quite mass-produced examples of technology and the attitude towards them was neither reverent or very serious.
They were sent to meltdown, to disposal. And unfortunately, many types of locomotives in the beginning of the 20th century were not preserved to our times.
Train enthusiast Sergei Zavyalov has a more ambitious project.
He plans to get a steam locomotive from the Shumkovo cemetery moving on its own again. It's currently being repaired at a depot in the Northern Caucasus.
Zavyalov hopes it will drive back here by itself this December.
He hopes to revive the region's steam railroad, perhaps giving children the opportunity to learn and explore its history.
These are exhibits, not locomotives anymore, says Zavyalov.
But, if one were to put in the work, knowledge, and quite a bit of money, you could make normal locomotives. But no one wants to invest the money, so...
Zavyalov regularly visits the locomotive graveyard, mainly to pick up spare parts for the project.
The sight of these decaying giants makes him sad - most of them are destined to decompose here.
Many find these ageing locomotives intriguing, photographers and filmmakers often use the graveyard as a setting for retro stories.

Russia: Strongman Savkin pulls 288 tonne train setting new world record
Russian Powerlifting champion Ivan Savkin claims to have set a new world record in Primorsky Krai’s village of Smolyaninovo, Tuesday, by pulling a 288 tonne electric train.
This is Savkin's second attempt at setting the world record and he managed to pull the train a total distance of 1.1 metres. According to the sportsman, the challenge was made all the more difficult due to the cold and the grease used on the trains wheels, which froze in the cold temperatures.

[Wikipedia] Northern Railway (Russia)
The Severnaya Railway (Северная железная дорога; Northern Railway) is a railway network linking Moscow with Arkhangelsk on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. It runs through Arkhangelsk, Komi, Vologda, Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Ivanovo, and Vladimir regions of the Russian Federation.
The Yaroslavl Railway, owned by Savva Mamontov, was one of the first railways in Russia. The Alexandrov–Yaroslavl–Vologda line was opened in 1872. There are several monuments to Savva Mamontov along the road. The original Moscow–Yaroslavl Mainline is no longer operated from Yaroslavl; it was transferred to the Moscow Railway in 1959.
In 1894, the construction of the railway connecting Vologda with Arkhangelsk started. The decision was taken to construct the line along the shortest route, which at the time ran through a sparsely populated area, and not along one of the existing trading routes, via Kargopol or Verkhovazhye. The construction was completed in 1897.
The Cherepovets–Vologda–Vyatka line has been in operation since 1906. It is a link joining the Northern Railway to the Perm Railway further to the east. They form the original, or northern, route of the great Trans-Siberian Railway. A long railway to the mining town of Vorkuta, known as the Pechora Mainline, was constructed by Gulag labor between 1937 and 1941. Its headquarters were in Kotlas.
Nowadays the Northern Railway is a subsidiary of the Russian Railways. Its total length is 5956 km. The headquarters are on the Volga Embankment in Yaroslavl. Its branches are based in Yaroslavl, Vologda, Arkhangelsk, Solvychegodsk, and Sosnogorsk.

Пенза. Монумент Паровоз марки СУ (рядом с автовокзалом)
Паровоз марки «СУ» был установлен рядом со зданием Пензенского автовокзала к 40-летию Победы в Великой Отечественной войне. Построен он Коломенским заводом в 1938 году. Всего таких паровозов, хорошо себя зарекомендовавших на железных дорогах СССР, было произведено около 3 тысяч.
Пензенский паровоз в военные годы возил санитарные составы. Сейчас он «замер» на пьедестале и стал одним из любимых мест для игр пензенской детворы.
Адрес: Пензенская обл., г. Пенза, рядом со зданием Автовокзала
