Description
State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is doing a great job in preserving their heritage. The picture shows the nicely restored Davenport #518 in Hua Lamphong station. Hua Lamphong is Bangkok's former central station but lost this role with the opening of the new Bang Sue Grand station (officially Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal). With most of the traffic gone, a part of Hua Lamphong station has been transformed into a museum. SRT has started to permanently present there restored locomotives from their historical collection.
