One thing which was a bit of a target for us was a "Class 66" or "JT42CWRM" to give it it's full name. Being from the UK we aren't short on seeing such locomotives but to see them in Africa and working passenger trains is quite a novelty! The example seen here is from the second batch built by Progress Rail and is the last of the 6 delivered around 2022.
Interestingly the passenger trains they are used on are built by Spanish "Talgo" making for quite a curious combination and one which shows the difference in size between the UK gauge and continental stock, especially as I've never viewed Talgo sets as that large.
We'd arrived to a spot not far from the main road to Alexandria and found it to have various points of interest. In the village of Dasounis Al-Halfaya you can see the ever present pile of rubbish and animal waste just left on streets. I wanted to include this as it shows the true Egyptian scene. Also to the right is a cemetery which was nearly the same size as the village. To the left of the loco you can see the classic village mosque tower which prayer call is played from.
Train wise we see loco 4006 leading it's Talgo set northbound with train 2023 Cairo - Alexandria. These trains are a more premium option and certainly look the part compared to the rest of the country.
