The VL10 (Russian: ВЛ10)[1][2] is an electric two-unit mainline DC freight locomotive used in the Soviet Union and is still operated today by the state owned Russian rail company RZhD, Ukrainian Railways and Georgian Railway.

The initials VL are those of Vladimir Lenin (Russian: Владимир Ленин), after whom the class is named.

The VL10 series was built as a replacement for the ageing VL8 which, by 1960, no longer met Soviet rail requirements.

[3] The electric locomotive VL10-792 was introduced in the Trainz computer game in 2012.

The action unfolds on the section of the Trans-Siberian Railway from Novosibirsk to Krasnoyarsk.
