Rounding a bend, looking to the rear of the train, the surrounding countryis showing the effects of a dry spell, but is still pretty.
Our first stop at the craft market at Kandanga, there were 320 passengers onthe train this trip, maximum load is 450, (they just add more carriages.)
Engine on the turntable, ready to be turned around, the turntable ispowered by compressed air, supplied by the engine, this compressed air is
also used to operate the trains brakes.
Facing the other way, and ready to be reconnected to the carriages for thereturn trip.
Don't ask how this photo got out of sequence, I don't have a clue.Here the engine is about half way through its turning process.

That is cool! I wonder why more don't use that technology, it would make more sense than what they do now.
I love trains! My father worked for a railroad, and we got to ride for free. How neat - thank you for sharing!
Happy May Day - I finally got you added to my blogroll!
