обалденный ПАРОВОЗ. Вот бы на таком прокатиться на недельку.

[Finnishlivesteam]

Heh - in English, that would be:

"Funky locomotive. That would be on such a ride for a week."

[Telstar85]

It's a Hr1 we call it "Ukko-Pekka", H = Höyry (steam), r = raskas (heavy duty).

[Finnishlivesteam]

Not quite right - H is for "henkilö", i.e. Passenger, r is inddeed "raskas", heavy, but that refers to the axle loading weight, not duty...

[tomatojamsam]

i reckon it mostly pulled the heaviest trains on finnish rails?

@isokessu no se oliski toimivampi ratkaisu kui se että vähennettäisi juna vuoroja

Ku vr:n sähköjunat on nyt jäätyilly lähiaikoina niin ne vois käyttää tommosta :D olis aika läppä näky kun yli 60 v. vanha veturi vetäis jotain 1999-2010 vuoden vaunuja perässään johonki rautatientorille

[Telstar85]

True on that, thank you for correcting. Forgot Tr's and Tk's. Though Dv's and Dm's are Diesels.
