Ispica
A chance sighting. Driving past Ispica station in Southern Sicily we spotted a stabled diesel and stopped to investigate and were surprised to find this ex SNCB Class 51 (believed to be 5132) in an engineering siding. These locos have all been withdrawn from regular Belgian service and it would be interesting to know how this one has ended up working here. A local railman kindly allowed access to the yard to photograph it. See image 60932 for a classmate preserved in Belgium.
