On 12/08/09 I knew I needed a dose of trains and double-headed steam action on the SRT The engineer gets her ready for action. The local cable TV liked us The stationmaster is about to release us
When I was in Choo-Choo academy Now boarding A cement train rumbled by And the engineer lays it on the spot at Lak Si
The X-ing guard and a cop had their steam fix Tired of low cost airlines? try trains Out chasin' train
We get a little stop at Bang Pa In and train 75 (Diesel Railcar Express, Bangkok-Udon Thani) blasted by We're about to go
Railfans galore and she shunts back for a drink And this conclude first part of my trip report, stay tuned for more.
Sophon, welcome back with more steam reporting! Is there a reason why the railroad places the two steam locomotives back to back? Good to see you were a rider rather than just taking photos along the track. :tb-biggrin:
Yes,from Bangkok to Ayuttaya and back. The reason why SRT put the locos back-to-back is there is no wye or turntable at Ayuttaya. Now back on to the show. tourists waits for boarding Kevsmith, Do you still remember this thing (Class 158)? and another cement train rumbled thru the plant
After a lunch I still have fun railfanning Squeeze it a little more Train 209 (Ordinary, Bangkok-Ban Takhli) checks in The loco you see here has a little story: SRT #4218 was involved in an accident when she hit a mudslide and fell into river; the engine crew died in the line of duty. after months of TLC and labor from Makkasan shop, she's now back in action.
SRT's version of Aurora Racetrack A little nap Old and new another Black Express(MTY) rocked the plant
