Busy times at Athens station
The last two Krauss-Maffeis in one frame. Pure serendipity.
I was warned in advance by the signature bleaking horn what's coming on from the north into Athens. Plenty of time to arrange the frame with the waiting 23500.
A-420 arrived on the evening of June 26, 1997 with a work train while A-414 was trailing the A-324 on overnight 23500 which was carrying everything somewhat urgent such as mail&express plus perishables in white reefers.
Those days Athens Stathmos Larissis was such a nice station. Use full screen view to savour all the little details.
In the background you see Hotel Oscar and Hotel Nana, the railfan's favorites. I checked in at the Nana. A nice cool taverna downstairs just the next door.
