There are many of these articulated Skoda built CHS7s on RZD's network. CHS7-043 could well be an early example dating from the mid-eighties if their consecutive numbering and release dates work as ours do. This locomotive, with both pantographs raised, is leaving the end of platform one of Moscow's Kiyevsky station having arrived leading the 23.00 from Chisinau that left the Moldovan capital city over twenty-four hours previously. These locomotives are immensely powerful with some 8400 kW (11400Hp) available!
