Turkish Delight! | Izmir TCDD | 1988
In summer mid-day heat local Izmir shunter DH3616 has derailed at Halkapinar awaiting a gang and crane.
While giving me a lift from Alsancak the friendly driver had left me involuntarily on board while he left the loco to throw the approaching pointwork!
No doubt, a lucky outcome on a day of mixed fortunes but notably this 'don't do this at home' moment!
The enticing TCDD Halkapinar Workshops lay on the right.
