Not a lot to tell you this month, I've had some photos of the
Sóller Railway from Javier Fraile and several scans of old postcards with
pictures of the trams of Majorca from Edith Knight and her husband who collect
postal ephemera, but that's all. For the moment I'll just post the pictures at a
fairly small size (I think the website is getting close to my 15Mb limit !!) but
if there is anything anybody would like at a larger resolution, let me know and I'll e-mail
a copy to you.
The first two photos are, as I said above, from Javier Fraile who gives his
address as Dept. TECNOLOGIAS DE LAS COMUNICACIONES, UNIVERSIDAD DE VIGO !! The
first picture is clearly from some publication and shows motor-car no.2 of the
Soller Railway with a typical train, together with a lot of technical
information which is unfortunately in Spanish.
The pictures may
take a while to download but have patience - they're worth waiting for
!!
The second picture is also of a Sóller Railway train, photographed from above - an unusual angle for the railways of Majorca. I like this photo a lot !!
Thanks, Javier - keep them coming !!
This section shows the postcards which I believe are self-explanatory. If you let your cursor hover over the cards you'll find they all have a pop-up description taken from the actual card.
Thanks, Edith and Rodney !!
I have just returned from a second visit to Southern France to travel on the Chemin de fer de La Mure, the Chemin de fer du Vivarais and the trams of Grenoble. I have quite a lot of photos of these lines which I think are worth posting on the net but, as I said above, my space on this site is limited and I still have LOTS of good pictures of the Soller Railway and Tramway to include. If anybody has any helpful advice please e-mail me. Here's one of the less picturesque samples
and here's something a little more scenic, an overview of Grenoble
That's all for now - don't forget to send us any contributions (see below) !!
