Aspros, New Polykastro, Thessaloniki

I'm on a trip to Thessaloniki, Greece

This is how the Baltic sea looks like a month with hot weather, it is blooming

The price of water in an airport in Greece
Compared to Sweden, it's earlier on the same day. 4 times more expensive
Aspros Άσπρος station on the line Thessaloniki-Idomeni
The train came so quick, I did not have time to take out my Nikon camera, so the photos were taken with my iPhone
120 007 is the only class 120 that is not painted with OSE/Hellenic Train livery
The locomotive is leased to RailCargoLogistics Goldair
Wagons from North Macedonia-based fuel storage and transport company Oilco KDA [MSE:OILK]

Νέος Πολυκάστρου station
New Polykastro is located not far from the town Polykastro.

The station that nobody is using




Ikonostásia (εικονοστάσι) refers to a small roadside shrine, particularly common in Greece, that serves as a memorial to lives lost in accidents or as a sign of gratitude for lives that were saved. These shrines are erected by individuals, often without official permission, and vary significantly in size and appearance, though they are almost always a reflection of personal faith and memory.

OSE class A-450, also known as 450άρα (450ara, "Big 450") or Καναδέζα (Kanadeza, "Canadian"), is a series of diesel-electric locomotives used by TrainOSE. They were built and put into operation by OSE in 1973. Construction was made by Montreal Locomotive Works in Canada. (Wikipedia)

Everything is operated manually here



After the locomotives are coupled with the wagons - it's time to leave
