Aliveri Lignite Mines Railway - a photo on Flickriver

            The head-shunt and main running lines of the metre-gauge industrial mines railway near Aliveri on the island of Evvoia in Central Greece on 14th September 1985. Having seen what turned out to be the last train of the day to the power station at Karavos on the coast when walking the line, I approached the security gatehouse to the mines complex and politely requested in Greek if I could be given permission to photograph the two derelict Jung steam locomotives, but I was told in no uncertain terms that this was not possible and basically 'to get lost'! I was determined, having travelled so far, and my only option remaining therefore was to gain some height on the adjacent scrubby and rocky hillside in order to obtain a couple of 'record shots' of the overall scene. The gatehouse on the entrance road is beyond the rake of wagons bottom left. At the head of some abandoned rolling stock, alongside the main running line, is one of the two Jung 0-4-0 well tank locos remaining (Works No.11735 built in 1952), having last seen use some five years previously.
