Almeria Station and loco yard
There is not a lot of activity in Almeiria any more, few trains and deserted loco depot, but it is still there, including traversers, a turntable, a preserved tank wagon and a collection of machinery including a small stationary steam engine. There are some good tiled walls inside the old station building, locked up and impossible to photograph.
