Remarks & Notes 
The rusted hulks of two др1п (DR1P) locomotives sit in the "railroad graveyard" at Yaniv, in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The aptly named DR1 trainsets were the first diesel trains produced in the Soviet Union, at the Riga Locomotive Works - the D stands for Diesel train, the R for Riga, and the 1 for first train. DR1P models were produced from 1970 to 1976. At least 3 trainsets of this variety were present in the Chernobyl Zone during the nuclear accident in 1986 and were so thoroughly contaminated they could not be moved. 30 years in the elements, and subjected to thievery from shady folks ignoring the radiation, have taken their toll on these once venerable workhorses.
