Freight trains

Freight trains
The approach of a freight train is heard long before it appears at the station, and when it passes by, not only the platform shakes, but also the walls with furniture in the nearest houses. Such trains are hauled by locomotives with high power. Probably, not everyone understands the charm of a freight train, because they are noisy, dirty, and their locomotives smoke almost like a steam locomotive. Paradoxically, this is their charm – in the power, strength, and roar with which they invade space, causing it to shake and shudder. Freight locomotives also have different colors, but "catching" a diesel or electric locomotive of an atypical color is not as easy as the freight itself, because it does not have a schedule like passenger ones. Shunting locomotives can also transport small freight trains, and sometimes a steam locomotive can be caught doing this, which is very rare today.
