Monument to the steam locomotive Er 787-70

On May 9, 2005, in honor of the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, a monument to the Er 787-70 steam locomotive was erected near the Bryansk railway station. This steam locomotive was produced in Poland in 1952, and made its last voyage in 1973.

The E-series locomotives were widely used during the war. Old and reliable, they were produced since 1912, by the 30s of the last century were withdrawn from production, so they were considered obsolete. They were replaced by newer locomotives with a more complex design.
