EP2K-181, stabled, St. Petersburg Moskovski station 
 The lady standing next to EP2K-181 at St. Petersburg Moskovsky station makes you realise how large these locomotives are. This new design was launched in 2005 and, testament to its success, a further large order was placed in 2016. With some 6,400hp they are powerful locomotives that are designed to haul passenger trains all over the RZD network at speeds of up to 100mph. This particular example had arrived earlier with an unidentified working and was waiting for one of the station pilots to remove the stock from behind it.
