UZB Samarkand - 3ES5K-904 with a mixed freight
After a day of sightseeing and visiting the amazing city of Samarkand I headed for an hour or two to a spot in the suburbs. This little unplanned spotwas to try to catch something for my first taster of Uzbek railways. The only downside with the Uzbek mainline between Tashkent and Bukhara is the fencing that is at either side of the line. The first catch was a new type of loco for me personally a 3ES5K, built in Russia, with a mixed freight heading westbound out of Samarkand. Also seen at this location was a 2O'ZELR and Talgo set 01/02.
