Remarks & Notes |
The narrow gauge diesel locomotive is hauling a passenger train on the Zaporozhye Children's Railway. A children's railway or pioneer railway is an extracurricular educational institution, where teenagers learn railway professions. This phenomenon originated in the USSR and was greatly developed in Soviet times. The world's first children's railway was opened in the Gorky Park in Moscow in 1932. At the breakup of the USSR, 52 children's railways existed in the country. Many children's railways are still functioning in the post-Soviet states and Eastern European countries. |
