Greece

I'm on a short visit in Greece

I've not had much luck spotting freight trains in Greece so far, but today I will see one
I'm on the line Thessaloniki to Idomeni, the only electrified railway connecting Greece with the rest of Europe
E75 road is busy with freight transports


Here it is at New Polykastro station


120 007 is the Greek version of Eurosprinter






Oilco train with wagons from Bulgaria






Adendro station









The view from my hotel is at the harbor
