Nippon Sharyo metre-gauge diesel in Greece. Originally it hauled lignite trains at the Aliveri mines, now she has been preserved at the railway museum at Velestino. With the Greek crisis still raging on, I wonder how it is faring, though...

Hi Nick, 

 

Interesting video, I did not know about this loco.  

 

The metre gauge system west of Athens used to use Mitsubishi centre cab diesels for shunting. I think that system has closed down.
