On Platform 3.2

On Platform 3.2

The platform is at Dar-Es-Salaam railway station in Tanzania. I was with three friends, embarking on a three day railway trip to Serenje in Zambia. We were going to visit Dr. Livingstones memorial site, and eventually go to Victoria Falls (Mosi-Oa-Tunya) in Zimbabwe. The ‘train’ at platform 3 is part of a replica of George Stephensons ‘Rocket’ steam locomotive (1829). This is an exhibit at the York Railway Museum. It was built in 1935 and is credited to Robert Stephenson & Co. It has its cylinder cut away to reveal the workings of the piston. I made use of the platform support column to give the appearance of credibility. Also on the platform is the coupling and vacuum brake hose from the front of another train exhibited at the museum. The picture was, as usual, developed from vague introductions of different elements. I applied a filter to enhance the picture.
