69.ThO Luxor to al Kharga train stopped in desert
Western Desert, west of the Nile, weekly service to Al Kharga ex Luxor pauses while the crew shovel sand out of the rails and chip away at the concretions that form around the railhead! The line is mainly for phosphate traffic to Safaga on the Red Sea but has one (token) 3rd class (wrecked) service a week returning with different loco on FO!
