Syria 25.9.2008: A second run over Bridges 13 and 14 was planned, but at this point, 2-8-0 No. 91 failed again, leaving 2-8-2 No. 262 to provide the spectacle alone. Declaring the track thereabouts and Bridge 13 to be “no problem”, the dare-devil driver of 2-8-2 No. 262 (Hartmann 4031/1918), put on a stirring display of oil-fired power, before shutting off again for the less safe Bridge 14!
