1009, shunting wagons, Barcelona Harbour, from Montjuïc Castle 
 The commanding view of the vast and very busy Barcelona Harbour is impressive from the Montjuïc Castle. Looking down from the castle ramparts shunting locomotive 1009 operated by Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya on the harbour's extensive network of tracks is seen. I believe that it is hauling a rake of potash wagons on the network's metre gauge track. From this viewpoint, the locomotive bears a strong resemblance to a Class 20 if just a little shorter and I bet there would be no English Electric sound from its engine!
