Camel Trains versus Narrow Gauge Steam Trains
| November 23, 2020 05:48PM |
I see that in the "ratings" race on the NGDF, those outstanding pictures of deer and birds are easily outpacing shots of narrow gauge steam trains. So I decided I should try to include more charismatic mega fauna in my train postings in an effort to give my "ratings" a bit of a boost. So here are a couple of camel trains at a water stop on the run from the Red Sea at Massawa to Asmara in the Eritrean Highlands.
BTW the engine is an Italian built 0-4-4-0 mallet
