A group photoshoot on Denizli station in front of TCDD Kriegslok 2-10-0 56535 before we left behind her to Selcuk. I don't think the legs on top of the smokebox belong to anyone on our tour!
Very few of the participants were railway enthusiasts. The holiday was just a tour of Turkey by train but we all got the chance to ride on the footplate of the variety of steam engines that pulled us. Some took the opportunity more often than others & perhaps you can guess which category I fell into.
Locos used were:- Vulcan Skyliner 2-10-0 56359, Skoda 2-10-0 56140, Henschel 2-10-0 56052, Beyer-Peacock 2-10-0 56109 (failed), Henschel 2-8-2 46052 (failed), Kriegslok 2-10-0s 56552, 56513 & 56535, Stephenson 2-8-2 46105. Diesel replacement for 56109 was SMTE Co-Co 24070 & for 46052 was 24077. The use of DE24xxx diesels is ironic as these French/Turkish built locos were introduced to replace TCDD steam in the 1970s.

DE22 002 pulls away from Kale on the 11.15 Ankara - Tatvan service, already over 24 hours into the journey.
Journey's end for DE22 028 on the Pamukkale Ekspresi is Denizli. The loco is seen here after terminating on the 10.25 from Eskisehir, with the loco having run round at Goncali, so it is already the right way round for the return working the next morning (the northbound service does not call at Goncali).
Swanage Railway's Gala 1989 is treated to a demonstration freight with newly repatriated star loco Class 8F 45160 after a working life in Turkey since 1941.
After much deliberation loco 45160, in extant TCDD condition, passes Herston at about 11.00.
