      Yes, tini, they are very powerful, too. Myself love the sound of those V16 GM powerd motors

    Not the kind of GM-EMDs you normally see in KZN. Definitely the most unique looking locomotives. Nice catch,mate

    Nice crew on the locos, also well maintained.
    Still remains of the derailment above Balgowan what I could see? But the second line is back in use?

      I agree. These locomotives have definitely been well cared for. They still removing the last wagons and damaged bogies from Balgowan station

    2:58, what is this used for?

    • @jacomarais1976

      Brothermunkdrums, it's a mechanical derailer that protects the mainline 1 from any train activity entering from the loop 1 line. As soon as the points turn for the mainline, the derailer will automatically be active. When the points turn for the loop, the derailer will automatically be deactivated.
