"Wagon of Triumph Returns to the Russian Far East"
In a prospective celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory in the Patriotic War, a nostalgic train, christened the "Victory Train," arrives in Primorye for a three-day extravaganza. This retro-styled locomotive will stop at five cities for the very first time, with the local inhabitants of Dalnerechensk, Lesozavodsk, and Spassk-Dalny eagerly awaiting its approach.
The day commences on May 5, with the grand ol' steamroller pulling into Dalnerechensk station from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. Following suit, it will stop at Ruzhino station, Lesozavodsk, at noon, and then grace Spassk-Dalny station at 4:30 p.m. On the subsequent day, May 6, the schedule calls for temporary halts at Sibircevo station at 8:40 a.m., Ussuriysk station at 11:50 a.m., before arriving at Vtoraya Rechka station, Vladivostok, at 10:18 a.m. The revival continues with a brief visit to Pervaya Rechka station, Vladivostok, at 10:41 a.m., culminating in an extended stay at the city's main railway station from 11:10 to 3:50 p.m.
The "Victory Train" is a resplendent chariot adorned with vintage carriages for war veterans and esteemed guests, as well as platforms exhibiting military hardware reminiscent of the time of the Great Patriotic War—tanks, trucks, howitzers, and field guns. Musical performances are in store for the revelers at each stop.
This grand tour of Primorye marks an unprecedented milestone, making a historic five-city visit. Guests can look forward to witnessing display booths showcasing military equipment, historical installations, and engaging in festivities throughout the journey.
Russia's rail infrastructure is currently undergoing exciting developments with the anticipated cross-border rail service between Vladivostok and Rason, North Korea's special economic zone, set to officially roll on May 8, 2025. It is essential to note that while not explicitly referenced as a "Victory Train," the timeline coincides with Russia's annual WWII Victory Day commemorations. Keep a watchful eye for potential elaborations on this captivating spectacle unfurling in Russia's Far East.
