Faur Day on Slezske Zemske Drahy
| August 23, 2010 11:24AM |
I realise that you guys out there probably never heard of a Faur narrow gauge diesel. They were very popular in Romania and we have a 1977 model operating the sunday service on SZD in Tremesna V Slezsku.
Our magnificent steam loco U 57.001 does the Saturdays normally. Like many railways diesel operation is seen as the poor relation and even I myself had done hardly any photos of the Faur at work.
This has now been remedied and I attach nine photos to this website but if you want to see the full series then please go to:

Hope you enjoy them.
