Looking Good In Green
A C1 "Bristoller" freight locomotive, the first class of freight locos to serve on Finnish railroads. Despite the nickname acquired from C2-series, these 10 locos were actually built by Neilson & Co in Glasgow in 1869. They put in a goodly stretch of service, all the way to 1929.
