This is my 1997 video footage related to OSE A.555. I've got more than the limit for free users so I've split it into 1997 [this video] and 1998 [Part Two]. A.555 always seemed to be really chuggy, a proper Alco Dumper Truck in many peoples opinion!
The first part of the video shows A.555 pulling away from Adendro on 27th September 1997 with train 507 11:35 Thessaloniki - Athens.
The second part of the video is a real treat from 1st October 1997, I was invited to ride in the cab from Bralos to Pireas while A.555 was working train 501 08:02 Thessaloniki - Pireas. Seen during the run were A.463 passing with train train 1512 11:30 Pireas - Volos, IC52 12:35 Pireas - Thessaloniki passing in a tunnel [Sfinx?], passing a MAN DMU [car 704 leading] on train 1520 13:20 Athens - Stylis and passing train 602 14:24 Athens - Dikea with A.455. A.555 is then seen going empty to the depot from Pireas, unusually driven from the cab nearest the exhaust and radiators. Later the same evening A.555 is seen leaving Thiva with train 502 18:40 Athens - Thessaloniki.
