Sam She station sees a smoky arrival of back to back Pacific locomotives numbers 850 and 824, en route Ayutthaya for the annual King Chulalongkorn Day celebration. These two oil burners are based at the Thonburri depot in Bangkok and with three other preserved but operational locomotives, are kept for use at least 5 times a year. 23/10/2010
