diesel locomotives built by Electroputere Craiova (Romania) powered by V16 diesel
engines built by UCM Resita (Romania) under licence from the American Locomotive Company (USA)
In this video: unit A-553
Original YouTube description:
The first clip is of A.553 on April 29th, 1997 at Thessaloniki waiting to
depart with train 501 08:02 Thessaloniki - Athens, followed by
A.553 leaving
Larissa with train 502 17:46 Athens - Thessaloniki in the early
hours of May 2nd, 1997.
The third clip is a quite lengthy one of A.553 between
Lianokladi and Tithoria with train 1515 15:40 Larissa - Athens on
September 30th, 1997. Locations I recognise are Arpini & Bralos,
with the end of this clip seeing A.553 depart from Tithoria.
The fourth clip is of A.553 departing from Lianokladi with train 1510 06:10
Athens - Larissa on October 1st, 1997.
Finally, a very sad view of A.553 stripped of its engine and other parts in the
yard between Rouf and Aghios Ioannis works on May 17th, 1998.
