Bangkok's Hua Lamphong Station
Title:  Bangkok's Hua Lamphong Station
Description:  The 'Grand Central Station' of Thailand, this is the front/main facade of Hua Lamphong Station 'after hours'. A brief lull in traffic made things look later than the approximately 8 pm time of this photo. This was on Dec. 5th, HRH King Rama 9's birthday, so there may have been some extra lighting on the station..we had just wrapped up a swell evening of Steam Special Service photography.

Hua Lamphong after dark..
Title:  Hua Lamphong after dark..
Description:  4109 has backed up her train to the platform and now waits for boarding before heading out the evening of Dec. 5th. We had to work without the benefit of a tripod, so it was either hold very still or brace against something to get these shots..

Hua Lamphong after dark..
Title:  Hua Lamphong after dark..
Description:  1983 built AD24C No. 4307 waits for a car service before backing her train out from the platform. This unit is kind of a rarity, as out of the 113 AD24's SRT took delivery of, the 1983 built 4300 series only comprised 9 units. They were likely a 'fill in' order to replace units which were prematurely retired..SRT would complete thier AD24 run with 20 more units ordered in 1985.
