Soviet locomotive VL80

It has pretty eyes and I like all the caps, they look like eye makeup.

I always preferred the aesthetics of locomotives where the side walls don't slope inwards at the top (common in late German designs). I suppose the vast Soviet loading gauge makes it less neccesary.

Was the '80' a reference to power output (80MW?) Fun trivia: in the US, GE's first major mainline diesel was the U25B (for its 2500hp rating) so GM-EMD's competing model got designated the GP30, despite only being rated 2250hp.
