Those are some neat catches! I had no idea there were still cabooses in South Africa, although they might be used as platform-riding cars similar to how they are used in America today. I find it quite a coincidence that the failed coal train was able to fit within the platform passing track I like the purple and light blue of the Shosholoza Meyl passenger trains.
Thanks Jan, glad you've enjoyed this oldie = my most popular video - as you have experienced on your own channel, some videos just have a momentum of their own...
A Beautiful Video Coverage... Loved Those metro trains... And Those Two Express Trains powered By Twin Electric Locomotive's...... Awesome keep It Up !!!!
Thank uou for the comment and question. No, currently there still is no train service to Stellenbosch. This has been the situation since Covid and the line had been severly vandalised, meaning the overhead copper cables have been stolen. As far as I know work is in progress to reopen the line.
Nice video At first I thought it was controller's mistake holding that coal train in mainline and letting those coming behind through loop. I didn't see the title.
Soos altyd, een mooi video Piet!, Ek hoop Jy en Jou familie a Geseende Kersfees Piet en dankie vir al die videos wat Jy op Jou kanaal gelaai het hierdie Jaar!! Dit was regtig lekker om te kyk, ek hoop 2021 gaan vir ons almal een goeie jaar wees, sodat ons almal weereens lekker treine kan kyk!!
baie dankie Theo, beste wense, veral wat GESONDHEID in 2021 betref. Mag jy in 2021 vele mooi sonopkomste, welkome reënbuie en baie pret met daai woelige klomp blouapies op die dak hê -- HahAha !!!! Groetnis!
Stunning video as always! Mind my ignorance please - I'm still very new to the whole train thing, only recently discovered I love them - but is that a class 6E locomotive pulling the Shosholoza Meyl at 11:50?
@@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA Thank you for the reply :) I love the sound of the 6E1's blowers - hoping to catch the Shosholoza Meyl from CPT to JHB soon, hopefully with one of these at the head.
14:10 in our country we call this Horn as "S 35 cc 201/203" couse our train company has diffrent types of locos cc 201 cc 202 cc 203 cc 204 cc 205 cc 206 & cc 300 But Do the horn were broken? Also this horn is a Wabco aa2 horn
This one of your best videos yet. Loved watching those other trains having to manoeuvre their way around the broken Queensland diesel. Where you able to find out what the problem was and why did it leave the load it was hauling behind?
@@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA I suppose it's a good thing it broke down in a place where the other trains were able to go around. By the way the thumbnail for this video makes it look like the two trains are about to collide 😯😄
I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say that not all cylinders were firing on one of those 35800 locomotives. It's only a stab in the dark because that's what it sounds like. When I worked on those locomotives in Queensland, I was qualified to repair and service the electrical side. I attempted very little on the mechanical side...such as engine problems .
Nice to see some clean and almost clean Metro sets. Here in the South all sets are covered in graffiti and dirt. Some so much, you can't even see the windows
Ag Piet ek bly in Pretoria en was in die Army 83-84 en op die Grens mens moet dit snaaks maak ek was 'n Ops Medic in Ruacana op die Grens o/kpl en 'n spoorweg kind baie vry pas gery op treine met vakansies!

Very nice compilation!! 👍👍👍
Excellent quality of video, nice really loved it.
Hi Mr. Piet. I quite like these videos. Is it safe to travel to or from Stellenbosch with the Northern Line, considering you spot in Brackenfell?
Thank uou for the comment and question. No, currently there still is no train service to Stellenbosch. This has been the situation since Covid and the line had been severly vandalised, meaning the overhead copper cables have been stolen. As far as I know work is in progress to reopen the line.
@@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA Is the rest of the Northern Line ok and safe? What about the other lines?
Nice video

@@1960bobthebuilder AFAIK 35806 is back in Queensland under Watco, numbered WRB2183 (2183 being its original number prior to Aurizon selling it off)
@@aydoyt Thanks for that info. I'll keep my eyes open in the youtube videos for it. What class have you had replace those 35800 locomotives?
@@1960bobthebuilder I'm from Queensland. You are gonna have to ask Piet.

Any idea what happened to the failed train?
Nice
Nice video
Where is the cement going to?
It is going to PPC's depot in the Milnerton area Cape Town, from there distribution is by road.
nooit geweet ek like so van n train ni.....
What the cat doing
Back when we used to have electric trains, now there's no electric to power them.
So true !!! In the end we'll end up with only Diesel locomotives to move trains ...
Excelente el gato
😀👌
That black cat has 8 lives left!
Ha ha Piet dit is seker elke keer 'n ander kat!
