- Hi,
-
- can anybody tell me which current system is used on the electrified part
- of the Russian 1524 mm SZD network (and other ex-CCCP states)? Do they use
- one system on the whole network?
-
- By the way, I have just read that the reisebuero mittelthurgau (Weinfelden
- TG, Switzerland) has bought the 25 Nostalgie-Istanbul-Orient-Express cars
- (mostly LX sleeper cars, ex CIWL) and is going to operate them with 1524
- mm bogies on the Transsibirian railway this summer.
-
- So long
