The railway fits in one car

petrozavodsk.rfn.ru. For many years Victor Grishin worked in the railway depot of Medvezhiegorsk station. Now he has retired. Six years ago Victor Grishin desided to purchase a museum railway car for his native city, and now his dream has come true.

- 70% of the people living in Medvezhyegorsk have relation to the railway. Therefore, it is interesting even to the youth to see how their grandfathers, old men worked, - the pensioner explaines his motives.
