The Almirante Photos of John Paul of New Zealand
In 2019 I received the following scanned photos from New Zealand.
They were taken in 1977 by John Paul during his time as 2nd engineer on a Cunard fruit boat.
This is Almirante wharf with the pay car handing out wages.
We now ride a 1977 fruit train.
As our long train accelerates away from a bend.
The Changuinola River bridge.
And a Changuinola River view.
This may be Changuinola.
With a 0-4-0 plinthed in the yard.
Loco 830 at a station, again this could be Changuinola.
803 with banana cars.
803 again.
A typical track view.
Our train has banana cars behind the passenger coaches.
A Finka. John Paul thinks they stopped at both Finca Quince and Finca 24 so this could be one of those.
807 arriving.
A banana conveyor being slid out of the way.
Again possibly Finca Quince or Finca 24.
With bananas on a conveyor.
And a final view of our well filled train.
