LC4S3689.jpg

Nykroppa

On this dump, two different vintages of technology ages were found, abandoned and left to deteriorate together with other scrap. The steam locomotive is a class E2 from 1907, slowly sinking down in the mud. The aircraft is a delta wing SAAB J35 fighter jet of the late 1950s.

The locomotive is a 70 ton beast with its tender so one can wonder how it was moved there, without any sign of a track. Not exactly the type of item you move around with your ordinary towing-truck when standing like this. I guess it will be cut to pieces on this very spot...
