Steam locomotive class "Ov" stands on a pedestal in Orel city at the station. The Russian steam locomotive class "O" (from Russian: "Основной" - Main) was an early type of Russian steam locomotives. Between 1890 and 1928, 9129 locomotives were built; hence it was second most numerous locomotive class in Russia, after E class, what was unique number also in the world's scale. On the background stands the monument for heroes of the Great Patriotic War (II World War). Steam Locomotives "O" played a significant role in a victory of War. Trees swayed by strong wind...
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
