Sri Lanka Jan 2007

24th January 2007

An all too brief trip to Sri Lanka in the hope of having some of the MLW built M4s. Turns out there's quite a bit of work for these beasts on the Coast line and on locals around Colombo. Also a few DLW built WDM2s out plus GM built G12s and the new Ruston built M9s that sound hellfire. All gen for this trip can be found in the archives of the World_Rail_Gen yahoo group.
