 Originally a Soviet era monster, the Transoil 2TE116 number 635 stopping in a heavy rain in Narva estonia. Narva is a crossing point from European Union to Russia, so there are numerous unit trains daily moving across the river.  Although a lot smaller, the Re460 boast almost twice the horse power of 2TE116. However, the tractive effort of the 2TE116 is 25% better.
