Kelani Valley Tuesday


 

Kelani Valley Line J1a 4-6-4T 264 switching at Maradana station, in Colombo, Sri Lanka. 13 Feb 1980. The Kelani Valley Line goes east from Colombo and was 2' 6" gauge when we were there in 1980, with a mix of steam and diesel engines powering trains of wooden coaches. The line has since been broad gauged. We had gotten a cab ride on this engine from Dematagoda shed back to Maradana station and I got a photo of the crew, which I made prints of and sent to someone at the railway to give to the crew.
