I grew up with steam trains running in those days between Cape Town and Simon's Town in beautiful South Africa. At eighty years young, I still thrill to the snorting, belching, puffing and pure power sound of these amazing machines! Well done to all for the great video, and long may they continue!
I've been there. Januari 1979. In hot summer. Even with a mechanical stoker, it was hot on these engines. These days people are complaining about 40 degree Celsius, without hard work. Sissies
How very cool this of steam running way over in Africa, especially at South Africa.

It worth pointing out that this train would not be running without the hard work of the Steam Net 2000 group.

What are they hauling?
Great to see this but backing trains up is a no no.
Without a pilot...
