If we can but briefly forget the current crises in the Ukraine, we can focus instead on Russians rails, and other transport, especially in a historical context......

In 1929, when the old North Jersey Rapid Transit (Paterson-Suffern) ROW was being lifted, the old interurban rails would soon be shipped overseas, to be used on the Trans-Siberian Railway (interesting photos on this page, historical and current).......

Two views of stylish vintage "subway" rolling stock in Russia' thess classic-looking car are not all that different than the cars of years past, here in the States.

Note full-width cabs.......

Here's an interesting view of an older subway car that obviously had been "updated" with a quite unusual front end (there sure are enough headlights on this car!) Wink

Here's a nice interior view of one of the older cars; unlike here in the States, there are no interior advertising cards.

Also, note the absence of standee straps; with the overhead bars and incandescent lighting, I think of the old "joint service" PRR/PATH "K"-Class cars......
