Railway vehicles in Belarus undergo updates.
🚆 Refreshed Stories from Belarusian Railway 🚆
Welcome, folks! turned out, in the enchanting months of January to May, 2025, the Belarusian Railway decided to dip into some serious remodeling of their vintage coaches. And no, these aren't your fresh-off-the-factory models from Stadler or Pesa—these are the patriotic blue coaches that hold a special place in the hearts of many.
The journey of transformation got pretty intense for some of them, with comfy air conditioning systems, eco-friendly loos, and power outlets with USB ports strategically placed near the slumber quarters. Result? A sleeper car to call home during long voyages, especially amid sweltering summer days! 💨 ☀️
More goodies await
The renovation work is purely domestic—the Minsk Carriage Repair Plant and the Gomel Carriage Building Plant are playing their parts in this resurgence. By year's end, prepare yourself for another 200 restorations—interregional, regional, and international. 🌎🚁
