Engine #217 - 13

Barossa Valley - South Australia view map

A few years since this one was in operation..and a major difference
to the Tilt train that Laine is travelling on!

I've decided to enter this for "standing out from the crowd" Thursday Challenge
as this ancient warrier would amongst his contemporary cousins!

Impressive engine. Must have been almost invisible at night.

I would much prefer to travel on this ancient warrior, Von :)) That nostalgic sound they make is matched by no other.

Fabulous - my Dad drove steam trains in London - very reminiscent of my childhood. Chris

Excellent shot and a great find.
Been looking for the old steamer they run near my home, but it didn't come out to play today. I love these old engines.

So much character. It will always stand out. I hope they keep it up to snuff...
