CFFH-102

SV1XV has posted:

French-Hellenic Railway Company (Chemin de Fer Franco-Hellenique - CFFH) outside-framed 4-4-0 steam locomotive No. 102 at Alexandroupolis. This independent line was the Greek section of the erstwhile Chemins de fer Orientaux (Ottoman Oriental Company - CO) and this locomotive was the last survivor of the 16 originally obtained between 1888 and 1894 for mainline passenger work. It had been built in Vienna in 1888 by StEG (Imperial Royal Privileged Austrian State Railway Company - Staatseisenbahngesellschaft). From the end of 1953, Hellenic State Railways (SEK) would take over the line and allocate a new identity to this veteran - as Δγ 76 - although no further work was likely found for it.

Rare aerial view of the antenna of Hellenic Navy LF transmitter SXV in Marathon (Kato Souli), Greece. The antenna consists of a 250 m tall guyed lattice mast and an extensive ground radial system.

In the background, part of the Olympic Rowing Course is visible. This rowing course was constructed in the exact location of the runway of the former Marathon Airfield for the 2004 Olympic Games.

From Wikipedia: Kato Souli Naval Transmission Facility (Greek: Κέντρο Εκπομπής Κάτω Σουλίου) is a facility used by the Greek Navy for transmitting messages to submarines in the LF-range at Kato Souli near Marathon, Greece. It was commissioned in 1989 and uses as tallest antenna tower a 250-metre-tall guyed mast with umbrella antenna, the tallest structure in Greece. The site has an area of 650 acres. Nearby there was a transmission site of the US Navy with several shortwave transmitters.
