    Stunning locos- just a shame they don’t care about them. So sad to see such hellfire traction going to waste :(

    It is extremely cursed that the coaches are extremely taller than the locomotives pulling them.

    Thanks for the video's. It reminds me what a litter ridden place Egypt is. Such an interesting country but sadly not looked after. Buildings in poor state, railways in poor shape and little regards to animals and local environment.
    Thanks for posting and please stay safe!

    "It’s apparently illegal to film train in Egypt."
    How long until that law spreads to the UK? :D
    Still nice video. It's so surreal to see 66s used on passenger trains.

      That law will never spread to the UK. In the UK, you have the freedom to do what you want as long as you don’t harm anyone.

    They should send one to Britain and take the bits sticking up of the roof and take the big bit of where the horns are and the window grills off to make it look like a class 59.

      ​Apparently this law also exists in Romania... or at least thats what some railway staff say. But i checked and its not true. You are only not allowed to tresspass or film for commercial purposes without permission. But some idiots still get angry at you for no reason, just because they have shitty lives or something...
      As for Egypt its probably because of security issues. Its not a very stable country, really, whereas for Morocco, the same thing occured to me when visiting Bulgaria. Luckily, the stationmaster said that we could film, only to play it safe at the station.
