Welcome to "Phil's Loco Photos"

A week long trip to Finland, flying out from London - Helsinki. I took the night train to Joensuu via Pieksämäki and covered a few Sr1 turns next day and did the branch line from Joensuu to Nurmes which was surprisingly fast! I returned south on the sleeper to Loimaa and returned to Tampere and then north to Seinäjoki to do the diesel route to Tampere via Haapamäki. Then a few hours on the main line between Tampere and Toijala before returning north to Seinäjoki for a hotel. Went north to Oulu for some Dr16 action and stayed there for a night also. Did a few more Dr16 and other moves around Oulu for the night train back south to Riihimäki to cover the Sr1 turns on the commuters to Helsinki. I returned north via Kouvola to Pieksämäki and west to Jyväskylä for the diesel line forward to Haapamäki and then to Tampere and the cross-country overnight to Joensuu. Two minutes there back straight away to Pieksämäki and south to Helsinki for an excellent evening on Sr1's, managed a total of ten new ones before it was time to return to the hotel for a very early start next day and flight back home
