Ukrainian ‘Railroad Ladies’

Great article. I love the way the ladies have decorated their workplaces. Interesting too how they interpret their uniforms. I've seen similar on some of the tramways in the former USSR - personalised trams and uniforms are very common. 
 

All the best,

I remember that Czekoslovakian and Romanian railways also permitted a small personalisation of locomotives, such as adding curtains on the cab  windows.

I think this was possible because a driver was assigned steadily to a particular locomotive, wich in the end became "his own".

This nice practice of personalizing cabs seems to be surviving on Eastern European locomotives to this day (from what i've seen, primarily on Bulgarian and former-Yugoslavia area ones).
