    I love the sound of these. . . Used to watch them pulling up a steep hill to Henley station. My favourite.

      They normally used a diesel when their steam loco had issues. But as this was at Christmas time. Maybe the diesel was used to help the steam locomotive with a busy program. If I remember, I filmed the steam loco a few days later.

    Do we still have any stock running in South Africa? I used to take the train to work every day between Umkomaas and Durban. Although I had to stand in overcrowded coaches every day being jostled the entire time I still miss those days.

      Not sure what you mean but most Metrorail trains, especially the new blue trains are running albeit on a reduced service.

      @@CMDModels1 Hi. What does reduced service mean? The last time I saw Umkomaas station it was broken down and the rails loose and non functional. The buildings were in shambles. This was 2 years ago.

      the service only runs to Winkelspruit as the bridge was washed away in the floods. @@hendrikdebruin4012

      @@CMDModels1 It could not run to Umkomaas in any case. So there is no money to restore the bridge? It is indeed a sad state of affairs but to be expected - everything in SA has gone from world class to far below par.
