GR VL11/ВЛ11-149 + Mixed Freight Train | 20-02-2025 | Mtskheta/მცხეთა [GE]
During my recent visit to Armenia and Georgia we experienced mixed weather. Armenia treated us with mostly clear skies, but Georgia often had thick cloud covers. On February 20th we were surprised to wake up to a snow covered landscape.
After we had arrived at the depressing station of Mtskheta it quickly started to snow more heavily. Though it felt like an incredibly long wait in the freezing temperatures we were soon treated with a VL11 (or just 11) in the older green livery, GR's VL11s are currently undergoing modernization which includes a fresh paint job which is almost identical to the Russian Railways (RZD) their paint job.
At 11:34 AM GR (VL)11-149 hauling a mixed freight train passed us bound for Batumi
