Those locomotives were produced by the Lyudinovsky Locomotive Plant in 1990 and were purchased in 1992 by an American company for use in the Port of Houston, but the locomotives did not pass US certification. As a result, some of them returned to Russia, while others remained in the US.
The height of the cab was reduced to fit the dimensions of American railways, but all of its equipment remained unchanged to its (post-)Soviet counterparts. With the only difference being the addition of English-language inscriptions. Some of the locomotives that returned to Russia were purchased by private companies like Lukoil, GazpromTrans, Novatek, V-Sibpromtrans, and others. The “American” number range 1001-1011 corresponds to the “Russian” range 0210-0220.
Image link is busted, I think.
@nutomic@lemmy.ml IDK what the solution is. If someone tried to post an already-proxied URL to a server that’s configured to proxy images, and that was the breakage, then IDK, maybe the users just shouldn’t do that. But it also might be nice to detect an image proxied URL, de-proxy convert it, and then re-proxy it from the original un-proxied URL. Certainly the nested proxying of suppo.fi trying to proxy an image which lemmy.ml is proxying for Hexbear’s proxied image of the original image (which then doesn’t work, who knows why) kind of suggests that something has gone wrong in some way that might be worth looking into.
