Thanks for these videos. Platform 4 Pretoria was usually from where we got on the train to go down to PE, every year in the later '60s and up to around '78. Good memories.
Anything "Blue Train" and Im watching! Lovely footage, those guys sound intrigued by the approaching train lol, looks like the videographer got a fright for the horn there.
Thank you, and yes, I did get a bit of freight. It always happens to me🤣. Those voices in the background were Blue train technicians chatting to a Prasa employee, the Prasa guy wanted to confirm their identity and where they came from because he saw them walking from the shed to the platform.

LIKE #23 Love to see all this shunting of the BT. Most of us never see this, so we appreciate your time and upload!
Thank you Piet, I really wanted to film the train coming out of the shed as well before it shunts to the platform but that was/is a bit of challenge.

@@marval44039 lmao this prasa officials are so uptight
Where are the electric cables for the electric locomotives!🤨😳☠😠
Stolen I'm afraid but there are plans in place to replace them.I just don't know when those plans will materialize.
@@marval44039 That is a very sad sign. Sounds like corruption. Otherwise the thieves would fry if they tried☹
