If we can but briefly forget the current crises in the Ukraine, we can focus instead on Russians rails, and other transport, especially in a historical context......

In 1929, when the old North Jersey Rapid Transit (Paterson-Suffern) ROW was being lifted, the old interurban rails would soon be shipped overseas, to be used on the Trans-Siberian Railway (interesting photos on this page, historical and current).......

Here's an interesting view of an older subway car that obviously had been "updated" with a quite unusual front end (there sure are enough headlights on this car!)

At least for Your's Truly, this photo has an aura of the SIRT's Tottenville station (if that were water on the right!).....

Here's a nice interior view of one of the older cars; unlike here in the States, there are no interior advertising cards.
Also, note the absence of standee straps; with the overhead bars and incandescent lighting, I think of the old "joint service" PRR/PATH "K"-Class cars......
