This is the regular train that serves the needs of the people of Armenia's Shirak region. It has not been replaced for more than forty years and still bears the (now rusty)symbols of the Soviet Empire. Convenience and comfort are two things one will not find here.
The Armenia Fund Rural Development Program had a very personal experience of what it is like to try to get somewhere without a road. Our car (a Niva -- Russia's (inadequate) answer to Jeep) was trying to make its way up a steep hill, which wasn't an attempt at extreme tourism but simply the road to the Mokhratagh (Karabakh) community administration. Only thanks to the help (and valuable advice) of the community members and the efforts of our driver (he should do off-road racing!) were we finally able to reach our destination point.
