Taken from the terminus at Sóller, it has just been filled to the brim with tourist and heads back to Palma. Unfortunately, we did not have the chance to take a trip on this. Instead we used the local Port de Sóller to Sóller tram to get here and back. See PiP's. This famous 110 year old narrow gauge railway runs 27km from the capital Palma to the town of Sóller. At 3ft wide (914mm) it is a true narrow-gauge track and runs through some of the most spectacular scenery in Majorca. This overcomes the natural barrier of the ‘Sierra de Alfàbia mountain range’ in just 7km. It runs thorough 13 tunnels and over several bridges, the most impressive being the five arched “cinc-ponts” viaduct. As you see here, the engines are electrified by over-head wires. Enjoy full size.

Enjoy this Standard 4.6.0 class British Steam Engine up close. Smell the oil and steam!

Enjoy this oldie seen at the South Devon Railway station at Buckfastleigh taken some twelve years back. See here the GWR 5542, a Collet 4500 Class 2-6-2T (Tank Engine) that was built at Swindon in 1928 to a design by Churchward. If it looks rather unusual, that’s because another steam engine is just poking its nose out in front of this too. I think you will agree, a rather enjoyable shot of fences even without the engine. Enjoy full size on black. HFF, have a great weekend.

Seen in Port de Sóller, What do you mean, something strange about this photo?
