For a country like Russia, with its vast expanses, the railways always had a special significance. Designs created in the 20th century have made their mark in the history of the country. Even today, in the era of digital technologies, these discoveries and achievements shouldn’t be forgotten. They’re simply fascinating.
This documentary covers the development of railway transport of Russia. We will find out what happened to the only super-powerful diesel locomotive of the USSR, and how the October Railway TEP10 turned into the legendary "Strela"!
Back in 1837, doctors wrote: "It is absolutely obvious that fast movement will cause brain disease in passengers." However, half a century later, people were no longer able to imagine their lives without the railway. All the developments created in the 20th century have long since become firmly established in history. But even today, in the age of digital technology, this history should not be forgotten, because railways still connect different corners of the vast country of Russia.
