OSE "Craiova" A.555 - Part Two

More video of OSE A.555, this time from just one day - 16th May 1998 - and just one train - 602 14:24 Athens - Dikea - which I travelled on from Lianokladi to Thessaloniki. A.555 is special to me in a way because it was the last of these amazing locomotives I ever experienced working. This video is that moment. Not long after the Adtranz "things" took over all the passenger services and the A.551 class quickly became history.

A.555 is seen arriving at Lianokladi, then pulling away from a pathing stop at Stifaka and passing through many of the short tunnels in the Othris mountain range toward Karia and Kallipefki. The train is seen stopping and pulling away from Karia and then pulling away from Paleofarcalos, with the metre gauge line to Kalambaka & Volos visible on the left of the picture and sheep grazing between the metre and standard gauge lines. An Inter City DMU passes, I think this might have been IC61 13:25 Kozani - Athens. Finally, A.555 is seen at Thessaloniki moving off the train and heading for the depot.
