@diiselrong when you haven't chosen "Answer" option, but posted a new comment as a reply to some (who knows?) previously posted comment, instead, that person can't see that you've answered, because no notification is sent by e-mail in such case.
Because the train was not repaired, it was rebuilt - when it arrived to Tallinn, there was nothing in it, only body. DR1A-300 was prepared for scrap metal in Vilnius but after some time they changed their mind and decided to rebuilt it. It was taken first to Daugavpils but nothing was done there. The main reason that it came to Tallinn is that we had donor-trains from where to take all the necessary bits and peaces to rebuilt it.
@diiselrong why can't I add a video response? I had a trip to Vilnius and back in this very train, recorded from a window with a camera and a tripod :)
It's a good question why you can't add a video response, I have allowed it.

@diiselrong I still can't add it because there's no such option on this page :(

@diiselrong it's such a stupid act to cut for scrap such a relatively new DMU (built in 1991). Good that they changed their minds :)

But actually I can't understand - why DR1A is being repaired not in Riga, but in Tallinn....

@diiselrong what was its "returning home" route? Through Tartu, Valga, Rīga, Jelgava and Šiauliai?

It's unusual that this beautiful DR1A has two different engine types. Classic "Zvezda" M756B in a front motor car and MTU (8V396TC14?) in a rear one.
The horn is not typical for DR1As.
