OSE MX636
A-507 is seen after arrival at Thessaloniki, MX627 A-451
is broken and
dead inside. The large ALCO's are primarily used on freight
but can do
passenger work in the summer, normally on routes from
Thessaloniki.
Although fitted with ETH (HEP) for the heating of carriages,
this is
not used because of interference with signals. Photo taken on
Saturday
19 October 1996. Phil

A-501 is seen at Kozani, ready to return to Thessaloniki
at the head
of train 724, the 13:07 departure. Quite unusual for one of
these large Locos to be used on the branch service, just at the start of
the
"no heat" season. Photo taken on Sunday 27th April 1997

A-504 is seen at Pireas Port station on train 604 to
Ormenio. Three days before new ADtranz Diesels took over this duty, quite
unusual to
find a big MX636 on this train, even more unusual was the fact
that it
passed A-501 on the balancing southbound train during the night.
A-504
was fueled at Thessaloniki, and continued with this express, but
failed further into its journey. Taken on Sunday 24th May 1998.
