A Yank in Turkey

This is a US Army Transportation Corps S200 class 2-8-2. They were sold to Britain under lend-lease arrangements but ended up in various places in the MIddle East, including here in Turkey.

In the growing gloom of early evening this badly leaking example was shunting at Zonguldak in 1984, 40 years after the war. Shortly after I took this picture the secret police sent us packing!

Camera: Zeiss Werra, 50mm lens, Kodak Tri-X
