On my last night in northern Greece, I was at the Thessaloniki Station to capture any steam still operating. 2-10-0 Lambda beta 959 is the power, as it was on most nights. The crew was eager to pose for me, at the time I thought the engineer looked iike a young Russell Crow, the fireman certainly seemed to have some German hertiage while the head end brakeman on the steps was your locally handsome Greek gentleman. The Hellenic Railways logo still persists on the side of the cab, but the engine numbers recently have been repainted by hand. Note the tender is piled high with coal for the tonights run.
After reaching the Summit and having lunch, the Photo Freight with just the Heisler #6 was supposed to head our way for a Photo Runby similar to the one Shay #5 did.
However, in classic Railroad style, we spent the next 2 hours waiting while apparently, Shay #5 thought Heisler #6 was on the way and Heisler #6 thought Shay #5 was coming back down and was waiting all the way back at Mountain State. So, yet another scrubbed Photo Runby. Overhearing the exchange between the crews on the radio was humorous, but not really worth not getting a Heisler shot at the Summit.
I did manage to make the best of it by collecting a decent set of detail shots of Shay #5 simmering away at the top of the mountain.

In September 2016, Queensland Railways Heritage locomotive 1089, a March 1958 built class BB18 1/4 steam locomotive, led the Dawnie Express to Charleville from Brisbane for the Bilby Festival.
Named after Dawn Fraser the olympic swimmer, the train was operated in support of the Bilby Festival, an animal Dawn Fraser cares a lot for. The Bilby needed better protection in the wild.
The train is seen here crossing a track maintenance vehicle in the Dulacca passing loop during its return trip.
1089 was the last mainline steam locomotive built in Australia.
Mid-sized car produced by General Motors of Canada based on Chevrolet Chevelle and sold by Pontiac-Buick dealers
