PhotoHunt - Machine (s)

The shot below is one of the first locomotives used on the Orient Express and is on display in front of the Sirkeci Station in Istanbul. This vintage machine was manufactured in 1874 by German Krauss Company and served until 1967.

It's good to see that this machine has been wonderfully preserved as part of the Turkish State Railways collection.

    What a wonderful machine! The engine is beautiful, and it must have been very well built to have been in service for so long. I'm glad it's been preserved.

    It's always a joy looking at vintage machines, because immediately your mind will wander to the period it was used, like an instant flashback to yesterdays.

    Fantastic photo of the Orient Express steam locomotive in retirement. They don't build 'em like that anymore sadly :-).

    Wonderful photo for the theme. We have the first steam engine which made the journey to BC when the Canadian railway was completed.

    What an interesting machine. It also looks so simple compared with many of the train engines you see today. Just think of all the journeys people took with this machine.

    Here is my machine
