Russian freight trains
I hope that someone can give me an description what kind of freight trains there are in Russia. Maybe it's a bit easier if I compare with the kinds of freight trains here in the Netherlands, because that's easier for me and I hope also for you. You can see here:
-Coal and ore trains, these trains only consists of hoppers, mainly around 40 cars.
-Intermodal trains, these trains only consists of special flat cars for intermodal containers, around 30-40 cars.
-Mixed freight trains, freight trains with all kind of freightcars, around 30-40 cars.
-Lime trains, special hoppers, the trains are rarely longer than 20 cars
-Steel trains, special cars, around 20 cars.
-Chemical trains, only tank cars, 15-20 cars.
-Auto trains, bi-level autoracks, 20-40 cars.
-Grain trains, trains with special closed hoppers, 20-25 cars.
I also want to know which locomotives are used for freight trains.
