    Prologue: On 06/11/2007 I knew I had a need for a large dose of steam, so I jaunted to Advance Booking office and asked the clerk how many seat left on Train 901/902 (Steam Excursion). she said "Only two seats left." I quickly purchased one. I felt very lucky.

    04/12/2007 I went to Thonburi Locomotive Depot to get some behind-the-scenes shots

    824 gets towed out

    And spotted

    Then the shop switcher grabs 953
