On 11/08/2008 I knew that it's time to have my dose of trains and steamers, so I walked to Thonburi Locomotive Depot for some of my fix. She got some makeup on. quiet evening at the station stand by for steam. I'll be right back.
on 12/08/2008 I got on the steam trip for my relaxation on SRT; before Train 901 departs i snapped some happenings in Bangkok railway station paint shop oops (hint: road numbers) Train 4/4 snake its way to the concourse Train 135 (Rapid, Bangkok-Ubon Ratchathani) eased out of the station before getting stuck at Bang Sue Jct. station for new power our ladies come out for some fun
something interesting we hit Lak Si "The Black Express" is a priority petroleum unit trains, sometime these train will run around passenger trains if delayed. more of my travelogue on this weekend
Train 9 raced down the track train 901 64 axles no defects no defects station attendant had an itch for a steamer
my weirdest moment on this trip happened when the stationmaster used station's PA to tell the engine crew to ease the train back. It went like this S: All passenger on train **** please hang on tight as the train will move backwards S: Engineer of train **** please back the train up a bit (sound of engine revving up) S: easy easy easy that'll do (brake applies) then a moped was unloaded The Black Express (MTY) blows by
some Thai people still travel by rail a little rest for the eyes a timeless beauty Cement train headed somewhere
