The Real Purpose of the Railway

The Real Purpose of the Railway -- This album focuses mainly on passenger trains, but the low ticket revenue alone would never keep the line running, especially not a broad-gauge railway, which traditionally relies on heavy freight traffic. The real purpose of the railway here lies in serving the productive oil fields and chemical plants around Dolyna, and the freight train in the photo is very much a part of that story. -- Dolyna, 8 May 2010, 11:44
