Hello Lukyn-CZ and welcome to the Railway Forum. A good video with very good deep sound. The blue & yellow locos look nice where as the grey ones look in poor condition. The first one has a lot of rust, dirt and chipped paint. Are the railways going to repaint the older ones?

Hi DSY011
Unfortunatly their operation ended last year... Now is only 4 or 5 locomotives remain like operational backup. And several locomotives operated by private carriers...
