@zosimasy all those locomotives are no longer actively used and are owned by various museums or foundations. The crane on top of the 252 was used to lift elements of railway points. Thank you, Charles @hermann Sally, thank you, yes we have autumn skies, wind and rain again. @golder365mjsmith Michael, thank you :-)

[Charles]

@train365 thanks for the info :)

@zosimasy Charles your welcome. Although I chosen the subject for my 365 project to be trains and I do like trains. But I am not so much into knowing all the details of locomotives as some railway enthusiasts are. So I also had to look it up, however my understanding of Dutch may perhaps be better then yours ;-)

[Charles]

@train365 indeed, although I shouuld have thought of t but google seems to do an ok job of translating

[Floris]

@zosimasy Charles, well understanding both languages I do know Google makes very funny sentences. (even more funny then the average Dutch person when trying to write English ;-) )
