General information about Steam Locomotive Cuckoo (Boiarka)

The unique steam locomotive K-15776 Cuckoo ("Zozulya"), which is permanently parked at the "Boiarka" railway station, is considered a symbol of the city.

This is one of the monuments to the boyar narrow-gauge railway, thanks to which Kyiv was saved from freezing in the cold winter of 1921-1922. Such steam locomotives transported firewood harvested in nearby forests.

The "Cuckoo" steam locomotive in Boyarka is considered the only representative of this series that has survived in Ukraine.

Унікальний паровоз К-15776 "Зозуля", встановлений на вічну стоянку на залізничній станції "Боярка", вважається символом міста.

Це один із пам'ятників боярській вузькоколійній залізниці, завдяки якій у холодну зиму 1921-1922 років був врятований Київ, що замерзав. На таких паровозах перевозили дрова, що заготовлювалися у сусідніх лісах.

Паровоз "Зозуля" у Боярці вважається єдиним представником цієї серії, який зберігся в Україні.
