Hi all,
I've been trying to figure this one out but falling short.



Closest I've found was example 313.2 in barefoot.



Obviously not a match, but closest I found in the catalog.
any help would be appreciated.

Someone definitely knows better but as a bump to the post it looks to me like Rzhev or something

At top, the letters appear to be E?SK CH.O.
The letter before the E could be a V, K, or ZH.
That after the E looks a bit like another E, but could be a V.
Izhevsk may fit.

Thanks NSK, that fits perfectly!
was reading it as KEbCK.
I don't see Izhevsk listed in this catalog, any recommendations for further reading?

My first thought was EESK, then I considered EbSk (E'SK), but that b should not follow an E.

At the bottom, I read ?ZHSK ZH. D. The ZH. D. means Zheleznaya Doroga: Rail Road. So, yes, another railway cancel.

Your book example appears to be Dinaburg (Dünaburg in German) near Daugavpils on the Vityebsk (Belarus) - Riga (Latvia) Rail Road.

If ?ZHSK, again is RIZHSK (Riga), Izhevsk would be a strange place as it is in an opposite direction from Moscow.

Another issue might be that Izhevsk may not yet have been on any railroad in 1875.
Then you are looking at a Russian town on a railway east west from Moscow with a name ending in 'KYEVSK'

Or 'EVSK, like Guryevsk. That would be on a line between Königsberg and Riga.
Problem is that I do not see 'PbEBCK.'

RZHEV would fit the top name, as the adjective would be RZHEVSK. And it lies on the (current) Moscow to Riga railway line. So Moscow - Riga Rail Road could be at the bottom. The latter part seems to be there.
