Those crazy Russians!! I can only assume that this stencil on the side of one of the Russian TEM7A locomotives indicates that the unit's maximum speed is 100 kilometers per hour. Somehow, I doubt the engines would quite reach that threshold on the Port of Houston's industrial trackage...especially considering they've been averaging zero kilometers per hour for the PAST SEVEN YEARS!
