Seems like kind of a brute-force way to avoid having to turn the train around.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
From my 50 years ago college russian and google translate the writing on the cars appears to be Moscow region counter-offensive.
ReplyDeleteIt's amusing that is Russia, graffiti is replaced with propaganda words and images.
Grrreat paint job.
Must have been summer, so little snow on the ground.
The Russians build fantastic gutsy machinery, like this hydrofoil the likes of which I rode in from Leningrad to Peter the Great's summer palace...in 1968. It was powered with something like twin v-12s woth DOHCs.

This might be part of the reason the USSR wasn't the economic powerhouse it claimed to be. This doesn't seem so much like a brute force workaround; it seems more like a really wasteful work-around, since clearly three passenger cars even full, don't need two locomotives with --what, 18 drive wheels? Think of the coal consumed! But this is what happens when the profit motive is removed from the equation.
ReplyDeleteYEp, different, no question!
