Thanks! Have they started running Sylvia yet? I saw she was transported there a little while ago, but I haven't seen any pictures or videos of her running yet.

@ She has! But rarely I think. They said they were struggling with her injectors at a point or something a while ago, but yeah that’s all I know. We went the first time with her, it’s my next video so yeah!

Why the two diesel loco's
@MichaelShannon3322 28 күн бұрын
The steam loco itself doesn't have the power to pull the 14 coaches up Sir Lowry's Pass quickly enough, so they add the diesels to help with the gradient.

Took the Ceres steam train to Mamre yesterday [24th September 2024] Heritage Day trip to Darling Wine Cellars at Mamre. Hugely enjoyable. Travelled on the Trans Karoo in the early 1960s - 1963? - when I think the class 25 condensers were in operation at Beaconsfield? I miss the smell of a real coal fire in the fire box, but understand the reason for converting to oil. Of all the trips that I've done with the Ceres train, the trip to Ceres itself has been the best.

What route did you take from Capetown departure to southern peninsula track? Did you travel via Retreat station ?
@MichaelShannon3322 6 ай бұрын
The train heads from Cape Town to Belville, turns around at Belville towards Maitland. Just past Maitland, it takes the line that passes Observatory, Rondebosch etc. This passes through Retreat on the way to Simon's Town. They take the same route back from Simon's Town to Cape Town.
