A night time picture of an East German 3 cylinder oil fired 2-10-0 class 44. Here is 44-0233 standing at Saalfeld late at night with its burners roaring away getting steam up ready for the long climb out to the steel works at Unterwellanbourn on the line to Gera with a heavy freight of casting sand. There will be a banker at the rear for the long haul ahead.
Tuesday 21st April 1981.
