Du 412

Yours truly, 4 years old, at Sävenäs locomotive depot, Gothenburg in 1939, admiring SJ Du 412. No doubt dreaming to become a locomotive driver. But unfortunately dreams do not always come true………………… Some people must work as headmasters!

Thanks for this photo Ingemar, I really love it!
I never got to become a train driver either, took to sea instead (for a very short while) :)
I like monochrome photos a lot, if you like them too perhaps you might want to visit another site of mine: www.time-capsules.co.uk ?

I too wanted to be an engine driver, in the days of steam, but joined the RAF instead!
Great photograph, Ingemar! Hälsningar från Peter.

I used to watch the trains from my bedroom window, then graduated to visiting the local station and even later than that working there!!
