Viewing Album:  SRT -State Railway of Thailand
 
By:Marty Pfohl
Dates:1/1/2013 - 1/1/2015
Album Info:Fascinating equipment from the 'Land of Smiles'! The Thailand Railroad System is state owned and operates about 2,500 miles of track reaching to all corners of the country. It was originally built as standard gauge but converted to meter gauge starting in 1919 to match up with the regions other rail networks. Thier equipment reflects a strong European influence. They have some preserved steam engines used on special occasions. Most of the locomotives run today are diesel electrics although they have a dwindling number of diesel hydraulic locos for service when the lowlands are in flood. The mix of power includes US, European and Japanese made locomotives and a number of DMU sets for commuter services. Bangkok city has a modern elevated 'Skytrain' [aka BTS] commuter service and a metropolitan rapid transit system known as MRT. All photos in this album were taken in Thailand. This album would have been impossible without the contribution and help of my cohort and now wife, Ms. B. Sarnt. [Some models, types, and locations could not be changed from the editor options. I will correct and update those as I can.]

Resident Cat
Title:  Resident Cat
Description:  What does a cat have to do with RRPhotoArchives? This is in fact, one of undoubtely many more resident cats, here at Bangkok Central. Brave kitty he is, because he is calmly sitting on a ledge of about 12ft. Incidentally, the thai word for cat makes total sense: "Meow" !!!!

SRT4039BKK
Title:  SRT4039BKK
Description:  Shades of the Rio Grande! State Railway UM12C No. 4039 readys to leave Bangkok central station. This is the current paint scheme for these units. This series are cousin to the WP&Y's shovelnose GE's. Recent news from SRT is that these UM 12's days may be numbered, as there is an order of new locos from China which will replace the series. They make a wonderful chant as they buzz about, too!

SRT 4041 THK, KCB
Title:  SRT 4041 THK, KCB
Description:  A fine looking UM12C, the 4041 makes a stop at Thaikilin ['Kirin' Harbor] station in Kachanaburi Province. Her 2 660 hp engines create a light pall of smoke drifting up into the sky. The 4041 is part of an additional order for 9 UM12's SRT made after the original 1964 delivery. She and her sister units, {4040-49} were delivered in 1966.

50 years old and she's got it goin on!
Title:  50 years old and she's got it goin on!
Description:  Freshly painted and low numbered UM12C 4005 waits to start another run out of Hua Lamphong Station. After getting this photo the engineer came back into the cab and instantly put her from idle to run 9, either to do a load test or air up fast: she responded flawlessly and made an awesome sound show heard throughout the station!

Oil Bath!
Title:  Oil Bath!
Description:  In urgent need of major TLC, SRT UM12C 4022 scurries about switching cars at Hua Lamphong Station. The poor thing was running fine, either she was next to another unit which had a spectacular fail, someone missed the mark fueling up, or she 'soiled' herself ['ouch!' -4022's a GE after all!]. I photo'd her on Dec. 5 sans those nasty oil stains!

SRT4001BKK
Title:  SRT4001BKK
Description:  In a sad looking condition, SRT 4001 readys her train to leave Bangkok Central station in this 2013 photo. [One of my very first contributions to the RRPA website!] I was very lucky to find her, as this is the class engine in her series and is among the oldest still operating class of power on the SRT. This nearly 50 year old GE is a model UM12C which is a cousin to our WP&Y shovelnoses, having 2 660 hp engines which make a delightful chortle as they bustle about. She is in very faded but original paint.

A dog's life...
Title:  A dog's life...
Description:  Doing what dogs do best, this stray at Bangsue takes advantange of an unoccupied track and a 'bonus foam 'pad' ...as passengers on the next train over look on..As would be expected, stray dogs come a dime a dozen in Thailand -it is not uncommon to see them sleeping in roadway traffic lane after hours or wandering around train stations hoping for a scrap of food. Now THATS a [precarious] Dogs' life!!

SRT 4012HLP
Title:  SRT 4012HLP
Description:  It is 2014, not the 1960's as this photo appears to suggest..the Sepia version simply came out beautifully! UM12C no. 4012 appeared suddenly out of nowhere with this train, ready to set out from HuaLamPhong after backing it in. The color photo shows it more distinctly but it appears that she was hastily pulled out of long term storage [or, {cringe} dead line?] and put into service as the cab windows aren't even clean!! -One of my fave photos-Gotta luv the SRT!!!!

SRT 4113BK
Title:  SRT 4113BK
Description:  AD24C #4113, from the original order for this type in 1975, is looking fine on this day as she pulls up to Bang Khean [Khean Village] Station with a commuter train. The overhead bridgework was the remanent of a defunct highway project which is now being largely demolished/partly recycled for the new hi capacity line being laid.
