Monday, 5 March 2012. A long way from home.

Look harder and you may notice a few oddities. First of all- this is not the UK rail network! 66153, now under the umbrella of DB Schenker is one of the locomotives which has been exported to Poland.

http://trains-today.blogspot.com/2015/07/no-fatal-passenger-accidents-for-record.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2015. No fatal passenger accidents for a record 8th year.
