These old diesels are still in service?

Good afternoon, Yes, in YAJDK 13 sections of locomotives in working order, two of which are constantly in operation on the line. All locomotives are in excellent condition with original 2D100 diesels

Is it leftover from the Soviet period? The red star makes me assume so.

This locomotive is not a relic. This locomotive was produced in the years 1953-1973, in the Soviet Union and completely replaced the steam locomotive traction. It was a simple and reliable machine. It working in the far North, many modern locomotives will not be able to work there.

Hi Alisher, did you know there is another name for that engine. Fairbanks Morse D38 8-1/8 which is what it was reverse engineered from. In the US it was supposedly an unreliable engine, yet many of them are still found running in museums because they just won't die. I am glad to see them still running strong.
