161 New York Posted December 29, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 29, 2014 Some railroad shots from my 2013 trip to Latvia. Latvia was part of the former Soviet Union until 1991. Many aspects from Soviet life remain.1) 836 Rīga - Sigulda (Schedule) Pasažieru vilciens (Passenger Train - Company Name) on Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca (RVR) DR1AM (Make & Model respectively), built in 1973 according to Wikipedia. Train is at Sigulda station. 2) Interior of the train. Despite the train being empty the conductor did not like that I had my luggage in the space next to me. I had to place the luggage on the rack. 3) Exterior shot of the train.4) Another exterior shot. 5) Rīgas Centrālā Stacija - Main train station. 6) Freight train (possibly Russian) containing dangerous chemicals (judging from the stickers). When it passed me it made an g-d -awful scary toot.7) Another freight train shot. It took over five minutes to pass me.If you go to Latvia use this website for transport planning: http://www.1188.lv/ Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
