Album Info:SRT's Bang Sue Junction is a major 'Division Point' in the SRT system. From here the Southern [Main] Line to Malaysia branches off from the Northern Main, with further branch lines to Nam Tok [Death Rwy.] and Suphanburi splitting off past Bang Sue. There are also 2 closely positioned passenger depots at Bang Sue to serve riders on the respective lines. Paholyothin Yard is across the property from Bang Sue and is a major freight yard as well as having an engine service facility. As of the time of this album, new construction is going on as SRT invests in a new high capacity rail line cutting right through the premesis. Again, pls. note that all photos in this album were taken in Thailand, not Colorado..[due to a technicality in the album editor]

SRT 150109PHY
Title:  SRT 150109PHY
Description:  A good look at one of SRT's diminuitive European type wagon top box cars, now officially sidelined in 'company service'. This one has SRT report marks both in thai and the old name for the SRT, or, R.S.R. [Royal State Railways {of Siam} ]. There are a great many of these defunct cars to be found all over SRT property as they're perfect storage sheds. As with US roads, there are almost no boxcars still in service, and those I've seen are very few and of a longer, more modern 2 truck type.

SRT 4014PHY
Title:  SRT 4014PHY
Description:  A great catch! UM12C 4014 was being switched among the shop tracks by AD24's. At first I thought this was a regional variant of the SRT UM12 scheme but upon closer inspection it is a fresh repaint in her original colors!

Title:  SRT 4015PHY
Description:  My first sight upon pulling into Paholyothin was this lone UM12 flat switching tank cars near the parking lot. Thai tankers have an ovular shaped body and seem to be 'kits' mounted to flat cars.

SRT 4211 4153PHY
Title:  SRT 4211 4153PHY
Description:  I doubt the brakeman was looking at me...rather his attention would have been on Ms. Sarnt! The crew was doing a bit of 'arrainging' locos at the enginehouse. It brings to mind that, for a land in which the elephant is native to, it is 'genetically impossible' for SRT to couple thier engines elephant style!!!! [My first SRT doubleheader here!]

SRT3121Phys3
Title:  SRT3121Phys3
Description:  Straight-on view of the 3121. Judging by the double sheath cab roof, downward pointing horns and sealed headlights, [NOT Gyralights, I checked 'em!] I would have to say the series is optimised for operations through heavy downpours..and the crews who manned them, probably all suffering from premature hearing loss???
