Alicante RENFE | 1973 - a photo on Flickriver

Alicante RENFE | 1973

            Among some twelve essentially complete but redundant and stored locos at Alicante steam depot is 240F-2671 a type typically deployed on Spain's mountainous routes.
Into 1973 a number of centres were still under steam although having been dispensed with here in the south-east.
My post is in response to a request for examples from the days of Alicante steam traction. Types 240F and 241F were present. The depot roundhouse is just visible far right.
I reached Alicante as a  divergence from a family holiday to Benidorm, just a small  distance away on the Costa Blanca coast. Life was not particularly a bowl of cherries as I had my Higher National finals that year and therefore missing valuable term time.
