Colas 56094 + 56105 waits for permission onto Heaton Lodge Junction with 6E32 while Freightliner 66 587 working Leeds - Crewe (Light engine movement from FL depot) heads the other way. This loco is in a pink colour due to a promo partnership with Ocean ONE shipping company.
Before I'd even had chacne to properly get positioned for shooting after arriving at the location a VL40M rolled round the corner with half of 2TE10MK-2087 in tow. Settings were quickly adjusted and the train was there in a second. What a lucky first catch of the day!

Yes I have photos, I still need to process them (3 weeks of stuff to go through). I saw quite a few trains take the line to and from Balkhash during the day I was there.
This website is quite interesting, I always found it difficult to find infomation about local/suburban trains in these countries. Do you recommend any other sites? :)
Спасибо вам обоим за помощь, я немного не был уверен в разделе. Я знал Мойынты, но не соседнее место.
VL80S-1334 heads southbound out of Moiynty. By this point in the afternoon walking around the steppe was getting difficult due to the ground defrosting but it was nice to get some photos with the last of the snow.

On amendments to the authorities of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated May 24, 2016 No. 302 "On the shareholders of the Interregional scheme for the territorial development of the Almaty agglomeration" Almaty region is a cross-border region, as it borders on the People's Republic of China in the west.
Within the limits of the Almaty agglomeration, the international transit corridor "Western Europe - Western China" passes (the railway line "Zhetygen - Khorgos", which runs parallel to the highway of the same name). The length of the railway section "Khorgos - Zhetygen - Aksengir" within the agglomeration is 135 km. The project of the Interregional scheme of the Almaty agglomeration proposes the construction of:
bypass railway line with the message "Zhetygen - Kazybek bek";
second tracks with electrification at the section "Almaty 1 - Zhetygen - Khorgos";
railway line (with promising electrification) with the message "Zhetygen - Koskuduk".
