Syria 28.9.2008: Running south from Damascus the trusty 2-8-2 No. 262 (Hartmann 4031/1918), gave us some stirring running with, over a very unexpected length of welded rail, her official maximum speed limit of 50kph, being exceeded by no less than 50%! With the crew clearly enjoying themsleves, No. 262 is seen here racing through through the picturesque station of Kiswe.
