Russian Steam locomotives. From Tzar era to Soviet

[Wolf85]

Hello. I would like to show you some of my videos with our Russian steam locomotives. The first one is a shot of a trains parade. The oldest steam locomotive on this parade was built in 1897.

Great video. If I remember correctly, the ten wheelers were the largest steam locomotives used in the country. It is wonderful that all those steam engines were preserved and are run out for public display. I remember the bad old days when you could get tossed into the Gulag for photographing railroads behind the Iron Curtain.
