With nothing immediately in the schedule after catching the afternoon meet, we took the short drive to road's end and parked at Pha Sadet rock. After only a few more minutes the approach chime sounded giving us time to set up for photography..soon, around the sharp curve comes this rare bird of the SRT, 1983 built Alstom 4306: it is one of only 9 examples in this order and number series. Likely they were replacements for fleet attruition. SRT would go on to a final order of 20 more AD24's in 1985. This battleworn ol' gal was likely doing helper service and coming home for the next job.. |
