UA - 178KM VL8M-665
On a sunny afternoon near the station of 178km in the Novokodatskyi District I spent a few hours waiting for trains coming up the hill out of Dnirpo.
The last train of the day was incidentally one of the best catches with VL8M-665 hauling a workers supply coach and a track machine. This train was caught nearly 13 hours after the first VL8 of the day, bringing one of my most memorable trainspotting days to a close.
VL8M-665 was built in Tbilisi in 1963 making it 61 years old at the time of the photograph and has worked in the Ukrainian SSR and now Ukraine since 1970.
