Prologue: On 06/11/2007 I knew I had a need for a large dose of steam, so I jaunted to Advance Booking office and asked the clerk how many seat left on Train 901/902 (Steam Excursion). she said "Only two seats left." I quickly purchased one. I felt very lucky. 04/12/2007 I went to Thonburi Locomotive Depot to get some behind-the-scenes shots 824 gets towed out And spotted some tie butts for pre-heating Then the shop switcher grabs 953
And gently coupled her with 824 She slowly awakens from a monthlong slumber As she awakens the steam crew put some cosmetic touch on her
On 05/12/2007 I asked my mom to drop me off at Bangkok Railway Station and walked inside then snapped this. Train 283 (Ordinary, Bangkok-Ban Plu Ta Luang) departs. Passenger get a surprise. Railfan bug knows no border,ethnicity and beliefs
