Weekend Steam: Eritrean Railways

Merle keeps finding remarkable videos.  I had no clue at all about this steam railroad, and this video was shot just last year. Those boxcars look to be like the 40 and 8s of a century ago.  Thank You Merle!

Very nice video.

In my mind I kept hearing music from Sergio Leone's Western movies.

I saw the front of the boiler moving a bit from side to side, but I could not find hard data about the articulating details.

A bit more information.

Thank you Dave and Merle. A great vid with some great little engines. The countryside was beautiful, the cinematography and sound was excellent and I even liked the camels. From a distance.
