KZ8A running in Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan. Local companies still operate many old versions of VL80, but they're steadily replaced by localized locomotives. Here also gondolas are produced. Their storage and final assembly is being made outdoors (2nd photo). It was a bit strange to see a long line of wagons not in a chain, but turned by 90 degrees near the city border. You may note that wangon's number is not painted on the wall yet.
