[QUOTE=Damien Zhar;101252]You mean something like this? I am astonished, seeing an US loco on USSR soil... ...[/QUOTE]

Until recently it was possible to see here Russian locomotives of the type TE109 (here RN 232). They were exported to the former German Democratic Republic, after the unification with the other Germany the freight section of the German Railways (at that moment DB Cargo, later Railion, now DB Schenker) used another subserie (Class 241) with another engine for services to the Netherlands. Later bought the Dutch section of Railion own locomotives of the type 232, and until recently they were here in service:D

PS: Maybe I can place here some own pictures of a `Russenschreck/Ludmilla`

Yes USSR locomotives on EU soil is one thing, it's more common, but I repeat myself, US locs? All the way from USA in CCCP? :P That has to be rare.

And hmm, Taigatrommel you say? They have been from Cuba to China, but go ahead link us up ^^

It's possible to see half-US locomotives on EU soil too. Maybe says the type JT42CWR(M) anything to you, but it's more known as Class 66. By the way, I like different trains, and I don't care which country they are from. And a Taigatrommel is a V200/ST44/781/(2)M62(U);)

I thought an Ludmilla is the same... oh well. when an train goes Berlin Hbf. - Moscau does the DB locomotive go all the way like the wagons? Where do they chage at that case and what locomotives are used, whats the speed on our and DB side, and how many hours is the journey. If I may ask.

I guess, but I'm not sure, that the DB the trains bring to the Polish border, with rented Class 372-locos of the CD. If there is no Class 372, they use a Ludmilla (DB-class 232/233/234):D

That Ludmilla journey I must experience. Bout caternary, is it me or does German/Czech caternary look a lot like Russian one? On that lil off-topic I love Russia's big metal green/rusty old bent girder caternary supports, not three planks in an cross like they do in Europe now.

Here is a picture from German catenary to see: [url]http://www.eggolsheimer-eisenbahn.de/Eisenbahn/z-eingef-Eisenbahn/Oberleitung/Vergleich.jpg[/url]
Of course, there are many more variations for more tracks, for a picture, made by myself, during a holiday in Germany: [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/40012911@N06/3742281519/[/url]

PS: Maybe it's better to make a new topic for things like this.
