Diesel locomotives 2TE10L were widely used on the railways of the USSR. However, by the 1980s, they began to be replaced by more advanced 2TE10V locomotives. A significant write-off of 2TE10L occurred in the 1990s. Today, about 10 units of 2TE10L are operated on the Moldovan Railway, some more in Tajikistan, as well as several units at industrial enterprises in Russia and as rail lubricators in Kazakhstan.

The S-curve allows to lower the steepness of the grade,
Attached Image: FR_001_Sav_028.jpg
but we have to maintain maximum allowed speed,
Attached Image: FR_001_Sav_029.jpg
leaving behind an advanced signal (ПН means Warning Uneven)
Attached Image: FR_001_Sav_030.jpg
and running at just below 60 kph.

Engine-drivers have to concentrate on their complex work, but we can enjoy with winter scenery.

The train occupies S-curve,
Attached Image: FR_001_Sav_032.jpg
but both of the engines are working hard to deal with ongoing grade.

The track becomes straight at last, so we'll be free of additional curve-resistance soon.

I love this route by Eugeniy Santo, for accurate, smooth transitions from flat to grades.
