Thank you really much, I hope you loved this video as much as I loved every scene of it by recording it, especially the unexpected freight train hauled by the 2 MLW MX627!

Where is the freight train going? the tracks dont lead to the port

[@jasonmlw1752]

The train comes from Ikonio port and Thriasio freight Centre. Then, the train needs to head north but this is not possible because there are no tracks to join the Airport - Kiato line with the Athens -Thessaloniki Main Line heading north. Due to that, the train goes to A.I.R. -Rentis Depot- which is located on the line to Piraeus. There, the engines change sizes and after some hours the train goes north and passes Athens Station. The train goes either to Thessaloniki or to the north of Europe. We can not know the train number because the freight trains are scheduled only some days before their travel and there aren't in the web.

That is weird. If you check on google earth there is a single track heading North at S.K.A.... Seems like a waste to take a huge freight train to Rentis and then back north....

I checked it and it's true but the track is not as new as the other tracks and before the tunnel this track does not exist. Is it possible to change the train tracks in a tunnel? I believe either that this track is a dead end or iit's not allowed to change tracks so sharply a train with a length over 100 meters.
