Jordan 29.9.2008: Steam journey’s end at Qasir station, with 2-8-2 No. 71 (HSP 2144/1956) resting from her uphill labours. The ladies and gentlemen of the tour group chat happily as they make their way to a road coach and visits to a few more historical sites. Tomorrow we will return to our homes in such diverse places as England, Scotland, Wales, France, Spain and Cyprus – all with very pleasant memories of a great holiday among the incredibly friendly people of Jordan and Syria.
