A busy scene at Tbilisi station.
A busy scene at Tbilisi station.

On the day of my arrival in Tbilisi my first task was to secure a ticket for the night sleeper to Yerevan in Armenia. Having done this I found I now had six hours to kill, so having wondered around lugging my great rucksack with me I soon returned to the railway station. The main reason was that when I went for a wonder I encountered a particularly bad tempered hound that managed to sink its teeth into the smaller of my rucksacks. I had dangled my small rucksack between my leg and the dog in the hope of giving it something other than my leg to target. The railway station suddenly seemed a much safer place.


The stock from service from the coastal city of Batumi had just arrived and can bet seen here whilst in the background a mixed freight is seen heading east towards the Black Sea. As far as I can see the articulated locomotive in charge was designated number 10-626. I know nothing of the former Soviet railways so any help regarding the identity of this locomotive would be much appreciated.
