Chervone Locomotive Depot. Ukraine.
The 750mm gauge Chervonoye Sugar Beet Railway had its locomotive depot next to the sugar mill in Chervone. By 2000 the serviceable locomotive fleet was a handful of class Tu4's and Tu7's. With the sugar beet industry having collapsed as the collective farms disappeared there was little or no harvest and the whole network was to close for good shortly after taking these pictures.
Tу7A-3032 is seen outside the shed and alongside visiting 0-8-0 no.Гр-336. The steam loco was owned by the Dzherelo Company and had been brought in to work a UK Industrial Railway Society charter over the Sugar Beet Companies lines.
