After our successful day in the Carpathians, our last full day in the Ivano-Frankivsk area and in Ukraine was spent getting any shots we felt needed trying again. As one of the group had overslept the day we travelled from Lviv to Ivano-Frankivsk and missed out when we spent time in the local vicinity we decided to head back to the first spot we tried on our arrival at Yezupil'. For the first time in the 5 days we had spent in the country the day dawned murky and grey, meaning we could properly enjoy our hotel breakfast before heading out. This also coincided with reduced passenger and freight traffic on the line down from Lviv compared to two days previously, so a large part of the morning was spent waiting around for something to appear.
It was nearly 1pm before the sun started to break through the clouds and 90 mins after the previous train had passed we heard the rumble of something approaching from the Ivano-Frankivsk direction. Breaking up the diet of 2TE10's and 2M62's that we had seen on our last visit, ChME3-3924 (ЧМЭ3-3924) is seen passing Yezupil' with a short infrastructure train on 25th October 2019.
