This locomotive seemed to me very similar to the Soviet VL60 series, and this is a real ES40 locomotive developed in the USSR specifically for Finland.
Sr1 is actually a great BoBo loco. It is the only one in "western world" as a main line export loco from Soviet Union. It has done almost 50 years work in many conditions of arctic Finland. I spent one night (6...7 hours) from Tampere to Oulu when it took a Pullman night train of 1000 tn and some 20 cars there. I was inside in the cabin and loco and and also once outside when it was waiting the opposite direction train to pass. It waited that train in the middle of a deep forest and 50...80 cm snow in total darkness (like 7:10...7:30). I took some fresh air outside and checked the sand pipes to be open before it started again with the 1000 tn night train from slippery rails full of snow because snowy winds and waited longer than expected. Yes...it is not the most modern, energy efficient, ergonomic and technically advanced one but...it has Knorr brakes, Skoda bogies and Finnish (Stromberg/ABB) electronics and some other Finnish parts.
sr1 on hyvä ja luotettava, mutta miksi vr vaihtaa sr3:siin on, että noitten huiput on 140km/h ja sr3:sen huiput on 200km/h. esimerkiksi savon radalla sr1:set toimii koska sielä on pääasiassa 140km/h rajoitus, mutta pääradoilla ei oikein enää toimi ku on nii korkeet rajotukset
Excellent video especially those in the snow at night..If you type &fmt=18 after the address at the top of your screen it will show your video in High Quality..5*..Bob
Beautiful!!! I hope to get over there in a year's time to ride this stuff before any attempted "modernisation" with tinted windowed crap! PLEASE if any new rolling stock, preserve the CLEAR windows and do NOT fall for that international virus that has damaged most of the beauty of the trains around the planet by using window tinting! (And of course KEEP the electrification)!!!
I shall try again! (For some reason on some clips, I can't seem to add postings here on UA-cam)! Beautifl trains! I hope to ride next year. PLEASE do NOT "modernise" with window tinting (an international virus that has ruined many railways) and do keep the electrification! Absolutely beautiful rolling stock that is disappearing with many new European "modernisation" projects. This is Europe as I know it! Don't allow such to be destroyed!!! Last bastion of beauty! Thanks.
Ootko koskaan muuten nähny, että jotain intercityä on vedetty Sr2:silla ´Kajaani-Kouvola radalla? Oulu - Helsinki välillä en oo ikinä nähny Sr1:stä vetävän intercityä.

Very good with original noise. Night views are
fantastic. Congratulations !!
Some spectacular shots there.
sr1 worlds best locomotive
@markskise These were built some 30-40 years ago in the former Soviet Union, although these feature many Finnish made parts as well.
nice coverage
Sr1 + siniset
