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.

  9. 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.
