Talk:Locomotive U-127

Dubious comparison

Article says loc. was restored "much like Lenin himself." Seems a bit fulsome. Obviously, the two 'restorations' are entirely different. The human body is not a bunch of iron & steel. (One must wonder why, 22 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, they don't get rid of the weirdly preserved remains in the mausoleum, but that's another topic.)

Picture of the day

Locomotive U-127 is a 4-6-0 steam locomotive of class U, preserved at the Museum of the Moscow Railway next to Paveletsky Rail Terminal in Moscow. Built in 1910, the locomotive was badly damaged during the Russian Civil War but restored in May 1923. The following year it hauled head of state Vladimir Lenin's funeral train from Gerasimovskaya to Paveletsky station. For the next 13 years it continued in passenger service, until it was withdrawn in 1937, restored, and preserved.Photograph: Harveyqs

Request translation

Someone should translate the inscriptions on the train. There's 2 of them in the gallery. GMRE (talk) 17:55, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
