'Preserved' steam in Spain
2nd June 2007 to 4th June 2007

Sadly, few of the steam locomotives preserved in Spain are in running order and many are not even looked after very well, being subjected to vandalism. These pictures show the state of some of those in the Valencia province.

102 is in a childrens playground in a city park in Valencia. Although it obviously receives fresh paint occasionally it has suffered graffiti attacks and the bottom of the boiler is rusting away.

209 is in an Industrial park adjacent to Sagunto port and looks as though it has simply left where it last worked when thwe premises ceased work.

This Mikado is at least safe from vandals for the moment, being within the grounds of the Vossloh factory at Albuixech.

OK, its not steam but it is close to 209 at Sagunto port and looks worthy of preservation.
