Whatever camera you're using as fantastic zooming capabilities. Excellent footage, it is very rare to see steam double headers on our railways these days.

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Marval, thanks for commenting. My camera lens was all zoomed out to produce a 4K video which can then be cropped in post to give the appearance of an ultra zoom...

Greetings from Bergvliet. Fantastic stuff as always! I admit that I'm going to miss 3655 as a Ceres Rail/Atlantic Rail loco as I believe she is now doing trips in the Mossel Bay area.

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Thanks for the comment. Agreed. I know you love 3655's whistle. She seems to be doing good work at Hartenbos.

[@nigellennert8967]

Thanks oom Piet why don't the uses 2 steam locos on the trip to Elgin instead of adding the diesel

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

You have to ask them directly - I guess it boils down to cost?

[@scottwarwick7514]

Piet… did you get that zoom lense off of a U2 spy plane? It has some serious range!

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Hahaha, could appear like that. Scott, For the most distant shots I am actually cropping areas of a zoomed out 4K video which still have sufficient quality to allow doing this ...
