The steam locomotive standing at the gate of the "Ignalina" children's camp is the main highlight of the camp. Ignalina is a city located on both sides of the Vilnius-St. Petersburg railway. In fact, the history of Ignalina begins in the years 1857-1862, when the St. Petersburg-Warsaw railway was being built, and the land needed for its construction was bought by the tsarist government from the estate owned by Igno Kaminskis. The railway was of great importance to the settlement of Ignalina, it improved the connection with Vilnius and Daugavpils.

The restored locomotive was built in 1954. The L-series steam locomotive was developed after the Second World War to carry freight on railways with a narrow track top structure. The series of this locomotive is named in honor of one of its creators - the famous designer L.C. Lebedianskis. The 1-5-0 axle formula describes the type of steam locomotive (the first digit is the number of front supporting axles; the second digit is the number of driving (coupling) axles; the third digit is the number of rear supporting axles). The steam locomotive of this series was equipped with a mechanical coal feeder for the first time in Russia. The L-series steam locomotives were mass-produced from 1946. until 1955 The locomotive was manufactured in Russia at the Kolomensk plant in 1954. Operated in Lithuania from 1967 to 1976.
