Interesting collection of photos here.
At the bottom of the page there's a comments section which serves to remind us what can happen when a site is unmoderated - I wouldn't recommend it.

Re: Abandoned trains of the Soviet era
Actually that whole website is a gem of urban exploration and abandonment, not only on trains but planes, military and everything else! its well worth following some of the links on those pages to more pics on the site. I spent 2 hours just looking at pics in amazement. Who else spotted the jet propelled train?
The message board though are a disaster, total anarchy.

Nathan, I had exactly the same thought about how those burned out carriages looked exactly like the Rovos carriages after their fire.
