At the bottom of the Red Sea a few miles off the coast of Egypt lie two, heavily rusted, stanier 8F steam locomotives. I've been fortunate enough to visit these engines a couple of times, but how did they end up on the sea bed, 2,500 miles from where they were built?

If you want to see the full dive video with loads more footage of the wreck then I'll stick it up on the second channel youtu.be/I2bU3fqAGK0
