it's a former german loco, a lot of them were taken after the war as a compensation in material form and used on russian railroads as TE series ( T means "trophy", E - is a russian loco of similar design and power output, so it means smt like Trophy locomotive, equal to E-class)
It's a former Deutsche Reichsbahn class 52. These were manufactured in huge numbers in Germany and occupied territory. This engine was specifically designed and built as an austerity locomotive that could be built using cheaper raw materials and be relatively easy to manufacture in massive quantities to help aid the German war effort. They were also built to withstand the extreme temperatures and conditions found on the Eastern Front. These were used heavily for German troop trains and also very unfortunately to power the infamous Holocaust trains. In fact many Holocaust victims were used as slave labor to build these locomotives all over German occupied Europe. As the Soviet Red Army was forcing it's way west between 1943 and 1945, they captured thousands of these engine's and many of them made their way to the Soviet Union as war reparations and war trophies. In Russia they were heavily modified to be able to operate over the Soviet Railways and were classed TE. These modifications including re-gauging these engine's from standard gauge to 5ft Russian gauge among other things as well as installing both American style knuckle couplers and chime whistles hence the reason why the engine in this video sounds American. Because the Soviet Union captured so many examples they were distributed to fellow Warsaw Pact countries which made good use of them and many lasted for many years and decades after the war and even outlasted their own life expectancy. Because these locomotives were built as austerity measures they weren't expected to last so many years but proved otherwise. Poland and the former Yugoslavia were among the very last users of these engine's. These were also used in mass in Turkey on the Turkish State Railways. Many still exist today.
I traveled into East Germany by train in 1974. The rest of Europe had very modern locomotives and this is what the Russians used. Looking out the window of the train as we entered East German there was still bombed out buildings and piles of rubble where are the West was all modern building and old ones which had been restored. It was like night and day. I did like to see the steam trains since my grandfather worked for the Burlington Line for 51 years.
Steam engines were used in the west as well way into the 90s, in DDR they were punished and bared from restoring certain areas fully by the Soviet government, understandably they had to live in complete ruins until late 40s by Soviet ruling as punishment.
Steam was still used to a degree in another Eastern and Western Europe in the 70s. While the Dutch modernised by the 50s and the British by the late 60s many other countries decided that a much more gradual approach was favourable and got more worth out of their Post War built design.
ya well the west didn't have a 2 year long siege of Leningrad or any number of other major cities that needed to be practically rebuilt stone by stone after losing 26 million people. that nearly wiped out the entire population of said city. most of the infrastructure that side of the iron curtain had been badly damaged or out right destroyed during the war. Nazis didn't like leaving things behind and deliberately destroyed as much as they could. most of the utilities in Berlin not destroyed in the actual fighting where diliberalty sabatoged by the Nazis as Hitler burned Germany to the ground in its last days "for failing him".
@@That_Thicc_Cat well, here in the netherlands are many museumrailways. Almost al of them have german steam trains. This train was build in germany 2. After some years they transported it to russia. They made the train look russian, bcause hey. Its russia. The museum railway had connentions with the locomotive builder untill they where sold. From them, the railway knew the russian train and they still knew where it was transported 2. They called or whatever they did to make contact with the russian railways. They also knew the train. The russians told the germans the locomotive was for sale. The germans told the museumrailway. And they made the best choice ever to buy it. It was in their budget so they could. Now, the train is under repair. Somewhere in the coming years, the beautifull train will steam away again.

It’s a Russian Railways standard short-bell 5-chime whistle. They played a musical chord with 5 different notes. The locomotive wasn’t built with that whistle, however, and originally wore a single-tone whistle of a type common on European locomotives.
Echt prachtig! En de fluit zeker. De fluit doet me denken aan een Japanse fluit niet helemaal maar een beetje. Ik zou zoooo graag die stoomloc in het echt willen zien echt prachtig!!🚂🚋🚋 choo choooooooo
While as a german I find your comment amusing since it has a lot of truth, I do hope you know, that it comes from the verb "ziehen", which means "pull" (since the locomotive is pulling the wagons) and is obviously much older than the steam engine and its iconic sound.
I am the last in my family that has seen, heard, touched and riden a true, live Steam Locomotive. Four generatiins, on both sides of my family wlrked go and for the USRR. Today, all that romanticism is gone. Only here in YT, movies and documenfaries show these. Sad, but progress isnt something hou can moderate. Cheers

Russian steam locomotive whistles sound more like North American steam locomotives than most of the rest of Europe. They've got that same deep roar instead of the high pitch sound like you typically hear in Germany, Switzerland and France.
Tom Gray The loco is a BR 52 a German loco built in the war, the Russians used them and this is one of them and made there own versions. the whistle is probably Russian or they just bought an American whistle and put it on.
Yes, American and/or American sounding whistles do get around. Baldwin built broad gauge passenger engines engines for the Indian Railways with 5 chime whistles.
i dont know about russian german british american candians or french or wthever trains technologies, but why do in all video i look they go backwards? is there more torques on lower distance? climbing hills? heavier pulling? why is this?
It is more-than- likely that there are very few operating turntables left to turn these locomotives around. Actually, many tender locos have a LOWER speed rating in reverse, but, if you can't turn it around, couple up to the front & pull your train BACKWARDS! It looks funny, but it works.
Ja dit is die RUS hij rookt en stinkt geweldig. Het is voor mij 2 uur autorijden om daar te komen maar doe het graag. Met zijn vele bruggetjes oude draaibruggen een moeilijk te onderhouden lijn. En nog zo heerlijk rustig. Ik kom er graag. Anders het stoomtram museum een keertje doen dat is Hoorn. Voordeel is van die lijn dat je hem gemakkelijk kan inhalen en zo er een paar keer op kan zetten.
@Jose Raul Miguens Cruz TZ is the Soviet designation of Reichsbahn BR-52. This one is in the Soviet livery with Soviet numbering. It is not clear if it is really running on Russian gauge track.
Absolutely beautiful train! So happy they keep her in good condition. Thanks for uploading!

I think that's a Russian locomotive because:
1.) Red star on the front
2.) Chime whistle (yes, Russian steamers had 5-chimes!)
It's an german Br 52 but it stranded afther the second world war in Russia thats why it has got an russian look

She's german; you can tell the wheels and running gear.
@@MrPiefboom It did not get stranded it was a trophy to the Russians after they won the war

very nice vid
I like this video of the steam train, in Italy there is not this passion?
What kind of whistle is that? it sounds AWESOME
Me thinking same thing
I believe it's a Russian spin off of a CP Step-top 5 Chime. The Engine itself is a Warsaw-Pact version of a German BR-52.

Russian steam locomotive whistles sound more like North American steam locomotives than most of the rest of Europe. They've got that same deep roar instead of the high pitch sound like you typically hear in Germany, Switzerland and France.
The german steam engines had low pitched single tone whistles. Its called hooter or smth like that
Because Russian locos have 5 chimes
@@nicodude3554 yeah it’s hooters
And some French have chimes
Historical note - the Trans Siberian was built with a lot of American assistance and help. thus the American sounding whistle.
I didn't know Americans helped build this railroad.. it goes to show ya, American ingenuity is world wide!
