"Рускеальский экспресс" это регулярный пассажирский ретропоезд курсирующий ежедневно на паровозной тяге. Последний регулярный пассажирский поезд на паровозной тяге курсировал в конце 70-х годов XX века. "Рускеальский экспресс" состоит из семи вагонов включая вагон-ресторан. В первый рейс поезд отправился 1 июня 2019 года. Больше 50 тысяч туристов побывали в вагонах Рускеальского экспресса за первый же год работы.

 Поезд «Рускеальский экспресс» связал берег Ладожского озера и рускеальское месторождение, а внутреннее убранство поезда оформлено в стилистике Николаевского экспресса, так распространенной на рубеже XIX–XX веков. Светильники, отделка, обои и мебель воссоздают атмосферу тех вагонов, пассажирами которых были последний российский император и его семья. В купе – большой стол и удобные диванчики с пуфиками, проводники одеты в стилизованную под старину форму. Особенностью поезда служит оригинальное фотокупе, где оборудована специальная система для моментального фотоснимка.

Кстати, современная железная дорога от платформы Сортавала до горного парка «Рускеала» полностью повторяет маршрут, по которому 200 лет назад везли к берегу Ладожского озера рускеальский мрамор для Исаакиевского собора.

"Ruskeala Express" is a regular retro passenger train running daily on a steam locomotive. The last regular passenger train on a steam locomotive ran in the late 70s of the 20th century. "Ruskeala Express" consists of seven cars including a restaurant car. The train departed on its maiden voyage on June 1, 2019. More than 50 thousand tourists visited the cars of the Ruskeala Express during the first year of operation.

The train "Ruskeala Express" connected the shore of Lake Ladoga and the Ruskeala deposit, and the interior of the train is decorated in the style of the Nikolaevsky Express, so common at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Lamps, decoration, wallpaper and furniture recreate the atmosphere of those cars, the passengers of which were the last Russian emperor and his family. In the compartment there is a large table and comfortable sofas with ottomans, the conductors are dressed in a stylized antique uniform. The train's special feature is its original photo compartment, which is equipped with a special system for instant photography.

By the way, the modern railway from the Sortavala platform to the Ruskeala Mountain Park completely repeats the route along which Ruskeala marble for St. Isaac's Cathedral was transported to the shore of Lake Ladoga 200 years ago.

It wasn't that Ridcully was stupid. Truly stupid wizards have the life expectancy of a glass hammer. He had quite a powerful intellect, but it was powerful like a locomotive, and ran on rails and was therefore almost impossible to steer.

On May 10, 1869, the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads met at Promontory Summit, Utah, completing the Transcontinental Railroad. Railroad construction of the eastward bound Central Pacific began at the foot of K Street in Sacramento on January 8, 1863.

For the 155th anniversary, Jared letterpress printed one of the many cuts of a locomotive that we have in our print shop. This print is available as part of the Sacramento prints bundle in our store! This was printed with black rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press.
