History

The VL10 series was built as a replacement for the ageing VL8 which, by 1960, no longer met Soviet rail requirements. The VL10s were manufactured at the Tbilisi Electric Locomotive Works (ТЭВЗ) between 1961–1977, as well as the Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Plant (НЭВЗ) during 1969 and 1976. It was also there that all the mechanical components for the series were produced. The first prototype of the VL10 series was built in the Tbilisi works under the designation Т8-001. It was built in 1961 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Soviet rule in Georgia.[3]

In popular culture

The electric locomotive VL10-792 was introduced in the Trainz computer game in 2012. In 2020, the Polish developer PlayWay presented a computer simulation game Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator. The protagonist of the story is a train VL10-792. The action unfolds on the section of the Trans-Siberian Railway from Novosibirsk to Krasnoyarsk.[4]
