Trans natal during military trading in 1982 was great. Big bar area which they stopped when people used to get out of hand and get violent. Lovely dining area with free full supper and brekky. They even had grandpa's for the hangovers in the morning. Hope it all comes back.
Man, this brings back wonderful memories. This used to be my taxi to and from East London, Eastern Cape, when i was studying there. From Maseru Lesotho, i would catch it in Bloemfontein on its way from Johannesburg.

@@EverythingTrains95 9Es and 15Es are the most powerful locomotives in SA. They are used to haul Iron Ore from Sishen to Saldanha. Yes 18E are great, but they are not the most powerful.

@@MosesMatsepane you are correct but you missed the point.... This is based on preference. 18Es are for me by far the best looking and versatile locomotives in my opinion and probably the most successful locomotives in SA since the upgrade from the 6E1s.

Does this train still run in 2024?
@@LM-rg9lj this was a special train (spring train) it was a once off trip.
Eish a day after posting, 3 out of 4 lines were cancelled indefinitely.
Due to incompetent Prasa and Transnet.
Only Joburg to East London operating.
@@Nathan93Baker when was that? Over the weekend?
@@EverythingTrains95 Today. News24.
@@Nathan93Baker I just saw it now....
I guess I'll do the east london trip then
@@EverythingTrains95Thank God East London Jozi is back I am taking it going home last time the cables were missing.
Just listen to those blowers departing Newcastle!
@@willemkotze8616 breathtaking!!!!! ❤️🇿🇦🔥
22:40 those brakes are so loud
I just noticed that the train is traveling super slow. Lol. Must be outdated.
@@wiljon1981 you really must have time on your side for jokes neeeh? Make money bro! This is not the platform... We focused. No time for jokes. Your jokes are outdated.
Not me being in China and looking at Africa like...😢😮
Service is poor due to corruption, Prasa has been politicized just like everything in SA ANC government messed this country big time. We need change

The problem is useless management in these organisations. I went to their website just now to see train fares so that I can book myself from Durban to Joburg, there's no hope at all in that site, its useless as PRASA management.
@@justlovesongs117 their website is not working.
@@EverythingTrains95 Exactly my point. They are talking about reviving rail but they can't even manage a website which is supposed to be one of the vital tools in marketing their vision.
@@justlovesongs117 I agree with you.
@ 3:45 how rotten is park Station 🚉. Disaster how the anc government stood by as our country is going to a decay state 😢
Those coaches need new break shoes.
I agree.....
@@EverythingTrains95I disagree.....that's a sound of metal to metal contact.....I've never been on a train and never heard that sound....further more...u must smell that metallic friction
@@RichardMofokeng-vu7il I can't disagree with you... But I can tell you now you have to be there to see it. I saw it. There are certain things one cannot disclose because one might get in trouble for it.
