The VL11M-138 electric locomotive is traveling alone through the evening Carpathian mountains. This place sank into my heart very much, I will return there again)
This electric locomotive was built in June 1988 at Tbilisi EP. It is assigned to the TCh-9 Mukachevo depot.
I consider this shot to be my huge progress in photography.
The electric train EJ675-001 with №778 Lviv - Kyiv departed from Lviv station against the backdrop of active construction of high-rise buildings. This electric train is very rare in Lviv and I was very lucky to catch it.
This electric train was built in January 2012 at the Škoda Vagonka plant. It was modernized in November 2021 at the Kyiv ECRP.
I really like this electric train, it is the only 2-storey train in Ukraine! I hope to see it again...)
The diesel train DR1A-331 is standing at Lviv ERP waiting for a major overhaul, which will not happen soon. This diesel train has been waiting for overhaul for a long time, but I don't think it will ever be repaired.
This diesel train was built in November 1997 at Riga ECP. This diesel train is one of the last ones produced by the plant, and it will be closed soon.
I hope that someday this diesel train will be running!
The electric locomotive ChS4-169 is waiting for work somewhere in the vastness of the morning Khmelnytsky region. This morning there were many interesting things at this station and soon after this shot our train departed.
This electric locomotive was built in September 1970 at the Škoda plant. It underwent a deep modernization in July 2007 at Zaporizhzhia ERP.
This photo is from a trip to Kamianets-Podilskyi, where the Kamianets-Podilskyi Fortress, a landmark of Ukraine, is located, and I will soon post a photo from this picturesque station)
The narrow-gauge steam locomotive Gr-286 stands in the Kolochava Narrow Gauge Museum in the village of Kolochava, somewhere in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains. This locomotive worked for a long time on the Borzhava narrow-gauge railway, after which it was bought and put into the museum in 2008.
This locomotive was built in 1950. It is one of the only surviving locomotives of the Gr series in Ukraine!
I have never regretted going to the Kolochava Narrow Gauge Museum - it was worth it!

2TE116-1242 and ADM1 railcar at the Boryspil station,
Diesel locomotive ChME3-2222 with a freight train arrives at Volovets station. Perhaps it's just me, but this locomotive is clearly not designed for the weight of a freight train)
This locomotive was built in October 1976 at the ČKD plant. It is assigned to the TCh-9 Mukachevo depot, but is operated in the secondary depot TD Chop.
I didn't have high hopes for this photo, but it turned out great!

This was the first stormy rain this spring
The diesel train D1-582 with the suburban service Korolevo - Batyovo arrives at the Batyovo station. The locomotive crew was very friendly and I like that in Ukraine, even in times like these, when there is a war, they can respond so well to railroad photography.
This diesel train was built in September 1976 at the Ganz-MÁVAG plant. It is assigned to the RPCh-4 Kolomyia depot, but is operated in the secondary RPD Korolevo depot.
This is one of the cars of the company's D1-582 “Edelveys”, which once ran on the route Khust - Uzhhorod...
The electric train EPL2T-030 with the suburban route Mukachevo - Stryi arrives at the Huklyvyi stopping point while the sun is setting behind the Carpathian horizon. You might be wondering why there is no name or number on the electric train. The thing is that the train was painted only a few days ago and the painters at the depot have not yet had time to apply the name and number.
This electric train was built in June 2007 at the LuhanskTeplovoz Plant. It is assigned to the depot RPCh-1 Lviv.
A year ago, I would have said that the photo was bad, but now I have "given a second life" to this photo by processing it very nicely.
Electric train EP2-3015/8009 with the suburban service Mukachevo - Chop departs from Mukachevo station. Due to the construction of a 1435 mm gauge track, the Uzhhorod - Chop line is closed for 4 months until August 1, 2025, so trains heading to Uzhhorod are shortened to Mukachevo/Batyovo/Chop.
This electric train was built in October 1975 in Riga RBP. It is assigned to the depot RPCh-1 Lviv, but is operated in the depot RPD Mukachevo.
In the background you can see the mountains, which are 50 km away!
The VL11M-040 electric locomotive with a freight train is traveling against the backdrop of the morning Carpathians, while the dew is gradually melting off the grass. It was my favorite electric locomotive, but unfortunately it broke down and is now out of service.
This electric locomotive was built in August 1987 at Tbilisi EP. Modernized in December 2022 to Lviv ERP, it participated in the exhibition of Ukrzaliznytsia rolling stock at Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi station in December 2022.
Although the locomotive crew there was not very good, they were still in good spirits :)
