Yesterday I posted a few photos of the Helsinki-Moscow sleeper Leo Tolstoi, which reminded me of some photos I made on a visit to Tallinn, Estonia back in 2002.
At the time, second-hand General Electric C30-7As and C36-7s were being delivered from the USA to supplant Soviet Era M62 diesels.
I thought the old Soviet machines were pretty cool.
Exposed on Fujichrome slide film using a Contax G2 rangefinder.
