European Railroad Discussion > Finland: first 2017 snow

Here you are - the first snow in the new year.
In the hunt for the double Allegro I went to see viaduct in Kerava.
1.  I was cheated in my best intentions: there was single Allegro!
2. There was a nice snowfall, but visibility at the distance not so good.
3. Sr2 #3237 with freight train going to Vuosaari harbour.

Love the second shot.

4. Heavy catenary looks even heavier when covered with snow.
5. Sm3 Pendolino going to Helsinki. There was so nice snowclowds of the fresh snow, that I could not stand of not taking lots of pics of it.
6. From the ground level. Riding on a snow cloud, screaming like a dragon, Pendolino's flying by. :-)

8. Sm4 line R is coming from Riihimäki.

Most often in such type of wagons is paper form paper mills.  

Thanks!

Kiitos, again, Stas.  Gerry

Yes, it is.

Have you got any pics of the new Vectron yet? They look pretty great in the VR paint :)
