A Freight Engine Lends a Hand

A Freight Engine Lends a Hand -- The commuter trains running between Kolomyia and Ivano-Frankivsk usually operate with a driving trailer and a matching blue-painted "half" 2M62 locomotive. But today, for some reason, the driving trailer was missing — and in its place, they hooked up the battered old no. 0931. The other half of the 2M62 may no longer exist, but this one still hauls small freight trains — for example, on the Rakhiv line, where a small turntable is used to rotate the locomotive, as it only has a cab at one end. -- Ivano Frankivsk, 8 May 2010, 7:42
