The driver of DE24 198, on the 07.35 from Sivas, has annoyingly pulled right to the end of the platform on arrival at Samsun. The resulting view was not what I was hoping for, mainly due to using a mini tripod!

TCDD DE 33 029 at Kapikule on the PTG "Great Bulgarian (& Greece) Track Bash 4".

Experts report that passenger workings of DE 33s in European Turkey are extremely rare.
