The main station in Tiranë closed in 2013 for redevelopment, and until a new
station has been built, the Albanian capital is being served by this small new station at
Kashar, 7km from the centre. T669-1054 has just arrived at Kashar with the 12.00 from
Durrës on 28 September 2015. The smartly repainted locomotive and stock make a
stark contrast with the stock used on other services in the country. |

During my three days travelling on Albanian railways, I saw just two freight trains. One
was this coal train waiting to head west from the colliery sidings at Vidhas, near Elbasan, with
T669-1046 at the head. 29 September 2015 |
