Original YouTube description:
To start off, A.556 is seen (or heard) on May 5th, 1997, on train
1515 15:40 Larissa - Athens leaving an unknown station and then
from the footbridge at Athens station before leaving with the empty
train to the depot.
On September 30th, 1997, A.556 is seen arriving Tithoria with train 502 18:40
Athens - Thessaloniki, then at Larissa before departure. I was then
told by one of the crew to stop filming so I hopped over the fence
into the road and managed to get the departure, albeit with a poor
camera angle!
On October 2nd, 1997, A.556 is on train 507 11:35 Thessaloniki - Athens,
from out the window behind A.558 on train 500 0748 Pireas - Thessaloniki. Later
the same evening the cab of A.556 is viewed through the door at the front of train
602 14:24 Athens - Dikea, with the headlights still on!
