1 | Belarus, Russia: Minsk-Murmansk Train | Bielaròsy, Rosìa : Fiaran-dalamby Minsk-Murmansk |
2 | LJ user af1461‘s blog has many wonderful photo entries about the Russian North, the Far East and other regions, as well as about Russian railways (see, for example, these photos of a “dead” train station in a town in Murmansk region). | LJ mpiblaogy ao amin'ny af1461 dia manapariaka sary meva maro mikasika ny faritra Avaratra, ny faritra Faran'ny Atsinanana sy faritra hafa any Rosia, ary koa momban'ny lalamby Rosiana (jereo, ho fanoharana, ireto sarin'ny garan'ny “lalamby maty” any amin'ny tanàna iray any amin'ny faritry Murmansk ireto). |
3 | The post translated below (RUS), however, isn't a typical one. | Eo ambany ny lahatsoratra izay dikantsoratra (RUS), na dia izany aza dia tsy toy izany foana ny toe-draharaha. |
4 | It features a photo of a note pasted on the Minsk-Murmansk train - a note that's supposed to assist passengers in locating cars they've got tickets for, but is instead a great illustration of how easily something mundane may turn into the frustratingly surreal in this part of the world. | Mampiseho soratra mipetraka amin'ny fiaran-dalamby Minsk-Murmansk - soratra izay noheverina ho fanampiana ireo mpandeha izay mikaroka ny fiara mifanandrify amin'izay tapakila novidiany, anefa dia mampiseho koa fa na dia zavatra faran'izay tsotra aza dia mety mivadika ho “nofy ratsy” any amin'ity faritra ity. |
5 | Quite a mess | Korontana re izao |
6 | Train #325/326, Minsk-Murmansk, is [mixture] of add-on cars - the Minsk-Murmansk kernel consists of only eight cars or so, while the rest are attached in [Grodno], [Brest], [Gomel], [Velikiye Luki], [Pskov] and other such places. | Ny fiaran-dalamby #325/326, mampitohy an'i Minsk-Murmansk, dia fifangaroana fiaran-dalamby - ireo tena mankany Minsk-Murmansk dia zara raha fiara valo monja, fa ny ankoatr'izay dia fiara mijanona any [Grodno], [Brest], [Gomel], [Velikiye Luki], [Pskov] sy izay toerana hafa rehetra izao. |
7 | As a result, when the train departs from Murmansk, the numbering of cars is such that only a very sober and attentive passenger would be able to find his car: | Noho izany rehefa miainga avy ao Murmansk ny fiaran-dalamby, izay olona tsy “mamo” ihany no afaka maharaka tsara ireo fiaran-dalamby tokony ho raisiny: |

9 | Here's the note's translation: | Indro ny dikantsoratra : |
10 | train 325 numbering [of cars starts] at the train's head 31, 32, 34, 33, from 2 to 7, [handwritten 8 inserted], 20, 21, 29, 19, 22, 17, 18, 23, 15 [handwritten at the bottom] car 0 [is] between 5 and 6 | Fiaran-dalamby laharana faha- 325 fanisana [ireo fiara] manomboka avy amin'ny lohan'ny firan-dalamby 31, 32, 34, 33, avy amin'ny 2 ka hatramin'ny 7, [nampiana soratanana 8], 20, 21, 29, 19, 22, 17, 18, 23, 15 [soratanana amin'ny faran'ny pejy] ny fiara laharana faha- 0 [dia] eo anelanelan'ny laharana faha-5 sy faha-6 |
11 | And here are two reader comments: | Indreto kosa hafatra notsongaina avy tamin'ireo napetrak'ireo mpamaky ny blaogy: |

13 | Big deal! | Oadray ! |
14 | This is how apartments in [St. Petersburg]'s old buildings are numbered ;) On one floor you'd have apartments 3, 17, and 24. | Tena ohatr'izao mihitsy ny fomba filahatr'ireo tranobe fahiny [any St. Petersburg] ? Amin'ny rihana iray no indray hitanao ireo “trano fonenana” [flat | appartement] laharana faha-3, faha-17 ary faha-24. |

16 | This is an IQ test for Murmansk residents :) | Adina faharanitan-tsaina [IQ test | test QI] hoan'ireo mponin'i Murmansk io |
17 | There was time when my wife was riding this train, and there's another fun thing about it: half of its cars are [registered in Belarus], while another half - in Russia, and the tickets for the former are 1.5 times cheaper. | Indray andro izay, nandray io fiaran-dalamby io i ramatoa vadiko, misy hatsikana hafa miksika io fiaran-dalamby io : ny antsasan'izy ireo dia [misoratraha any Bielaròsy], ary ny antsany kosa - any Ròsia, ary ireo tapakila hoan'ireo fiara voalohany (Bielaròsy) dia latsaka haiva 1.5 heny. |
18 | So when you were buying tickets, you had to say, “I need one for a Belarusian car” - and it came out cheaper that way. | Noho izany rehefa mividy ny tapakila ianao dia mila manamarika hoe, “Mba omeo tapakila iray amin'ireo firan-dalamby Bielaròsy aho” -dia mora kokoa ny saran-dalanao. |
