Excellent. For whatever reason, I always thought that the Aspen was a North American tree only. They are still beautiful this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. Thanks for sharing these and congrats on the IOTD. Well deserved. Ben
Date: 09/27/25 08:26 Re: In the Shatan Mountains Author: Milwaukee Unfortunately no new locomotives will be coming out of the Luhansk, Ukraine locomotive plant any time soon. That operation became a casualty of the original fighting between Russian backed groups and Ukraine and was shut down by 2015 and has apparently been pretty much destroyed.

Loco building in Russia is now concentrated at Bryansk, where the 2TE25s come from. |
