Albania - Railways (updated 28-10-08)

A new album for photographs taken during a four day trip in October 2008. Fourteen T669's were seen in service including ten on passenger, three on freight and one which moved around the shed at Durres but wasn't seen in service.
There were six sets of stock in use (ex DB sets on the two Tirane - Durres turns and the Pogradec, "older" style ex FS stock on the Vlore and "newer" style ex FS stock on the Shkoder and Elbasan).
