The strength and power of Soviet steam locomotives - this must be seen and heard

It is difficult for a modern person to understand what the citizens of the Soviet Union experienced at the sight of a steam locomotive. This is especially true of the pre-war period. Personal cars then had only a few, and there was a lot to travel long distances. The country was originally considered agrarian. Only in 1925 it was decided to transform it into an industrial one. It was required to build plants and factories in different parts of the Soviet Union. Naturally, the necessary materials had to be delivered by transport. Well, when the enterprises stood on the rivers - it is possible to provide communication at the expense of steamboats. But it was necessary to build in other places. Therefore, steam locomotives became the main engine of Soviet progress.
