Lokomotivnyy prayer times overview
For Lokomotivnyy it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
The Lokomotivnyy prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Lokomotivnyy the coordinates 53.0448°N and 60.6156°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Lokomotivnyy today is 15 часов 20 минут — from sunrise at 05:23 to Maghrib at 20:43. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Lokomotivnyy begins after Maghrib at 20:43 and lasts until Fajr at 03:04. Its duration is 6 часов 21 minute. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Lokomotivnyy the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Lokomotivnyy, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:04), Maghrib (20:43) and Isha (22:53) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Lokomotivnyy
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
We update the schedule in Lokomotivnyy daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (03:04) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:43) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Lokomotivnyy it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
