OSE World Series DL500's

OSE DL500C "World Series" ALCO A-302 is seen at
Thessaloniki, having
just arrived with train 724, the 13.07 from Kozani,
running about an
hour late. The last operational DL500C in Greece, she
returned down
the branch to Kozani early the next morning. Hopefully this
Loco will
be preserved, and repainted into the very handsome old Blue and
Silver
livery. Photo taken on Friday 20th February 1998.

Thanks to Andrew Jones for these two shots of A302 in its brand new colors. It's seen outside the Volos shed and on a rail tour at Aghie, both in April 2000. The 'new' old colors sure look nice on the classic survivor.
