Railway salon

• Train interior

International Railway Salon "EXPO 1520" is held every two years. This is such a MAX, only about trains. With MAKS railroad unites not only the frequency of once every two years, but the quality of the participants. Visitors are encouraged to look at all three chewed and outdated.

Of course, certain professionals are in this pile of scrap its diamonds, but just a visitor here to do nothing. Railways drags on Scherbinka some strange cars that have become obsolete 20 years ago, from year to year changes only the coloring and design of the upholstery. Passenger transport is represented generally very poor.

But something interesting is still there. Let's start with the subway train layout, which brought Siemens. These are the trains will soon be possible to roll the passengers Moscow subway:

This is a train from Siemens.

the driver's cab.

The interior has not liked me. But this layout, Siemens is now collecting comments to improve it.

It all seems a bit clumsy. Brackets for seat makes one designer, the other rail, trim generally choose cleaner.

Some solutions are very controversial, for example, provoke passengers sit there.

But the scoreboard with stations very cool and informative.

In general, SIEMENS has work to do. By the way, they want to put a layout on one of the squares in Moscow, so it will soon be possible to see the car for everyone.

Locomotives. I must say, I do not really understand the technical data presented on the train cabin. My opinion is extremely amateurish. Perhaps this is a breakthrough ... but I did not appreciate.

Maybe it's some kind of super-locomotive that will soon conquer the world

One thing I can say for sure - it is ugly.

Now, to passenger transport. This is our diesel train from Metrovagonmash.

Commuter train, where there is no electricity.

It looks cute.

no interior. In Russia, they do not know how to design the interiors of cars.

This double-decker cars Railways. They are already being used.

Inside it as a cheap business center. Brrr ...

What is it?

Toilet ...

Toilet for the disabled.

And this is the car for international communication. Conductor.

I've never seen such things for children. Interestingly, in their ordinary trains give out?

This car looks nice, even has a trashcan under the table.

Restroom.

Corridor. After Railways changed the corporate style, they all began to dye gray. Now the car corridor like a fire the course of the same cheap office center. Where cute curtain? Where a beautiful carpet? Where is the soul? What kind of second-rate plastic gray faceless crap trying vparit passengers? They killed all the romance of the railways.

The only explanation for the fact that all make gray to Guides and Yakunin could be masked in wagons and merge with the walls.

This diesel train Flirt. He was here 2 years ago in a slightly different version. Flirt was built specially for the Estonian railway operator Elron.

Looks nice.

A place for suspension bikes.

Interior.

business class lounge.

Toilet.

The transition between the cars.

These are the trains.

Walking on railway Salon "EXPO 1520" understand that our trains are so far behind the times, even at the show have nothing to show. Light at the end of the tunnel in sight. In any European station exposure times steeper and more interesting.
