A super-train named Express XXI starts operating on the route Moscow-St. Petersburg in the end of December 2007. The train is noteworthy for giving its passengers an opportunity to turn their compartments into a study, bedroom, or nursery.
      
      All compartments of the new luxury train will have a toilet, shower, individual air conditioning system, TV-set with a plasma screen, and DVD player. Later it is also planned to provide passengers with the Internet.
      
      The train-transformer will consist of four categories of coaches with quadruple compartments, double compartments with vertical arrangement of the racks, and VIP-class coaches.
      
      If a passenger is travelling alone, they can easily turn the compartment into a bedroom or study. If travelling with family, it is possible to transform the lower rack into a double sleeper bed and send the children to sleep on the upper rack.
      
      It is planned that the train will leave Moscow at midnight and arrive to St. Petersburg at 8am in the morning.

To whom it may concern, First of all, I would like to introduce myself: I am an image researcher of Exame Magazine, in Brazil. It is a business magazine. On our next edition, we will publish an article about the train Express XXI and to illustrate that, I am looking for great pictures of its first voyage. I would like to know if you have something with glamour, maybe a luxury restaurant wagon or the train leaving though a nice russian picture. I saw on the web that you've got some images and I would like to know if you could send the pictures you have, sell me them or put me thought who has it please. http://russia-ic.com/news/show/5278/ I kindly ask you to forward images to fotoexame@gmail.com since my e-mail at the office does not afford images in high-res. Unfortunatelly I am in a really tight schedule so I would really appreciate to hear from you asap.
