Thanks Piet, my favourite class 35GE's, the ones from Bellville really do work hard having to work mainline traffic to Worcester.

Sedert COVID is baie van die bobaan tussen Worcester en Voëlvlei afgesteel - dit gaan glo in Januarie (hoog tyd!) aandag kry. So alle treine moet diesels (of stoom) gebruik. Ek was weer na winkel ander kant die spoor en toe ek terugkom sien ek net betyds die trein vanaf Kraaifontein - letterlik net uit die kar geklim en die selfoon gerig vir die video....

Great video of the excursion train. The Diesel locomotives look unusual with their "humpbacks".

Apparently their diesel overheated - so they had to leave it at Beaufort-West

That GL26C Aussie looked like it had ambitions to become a steam locomotive. Lovely video. The train was moving at quite the pace
@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICAАй бұрын
True Marval - it sure was showing steam locomotive traits - some one commented that it was sounding like a garratt which is a bang-on observation! I was also surprised by the train's speed - normally it goes at a "don't spill the tea" speed through Brackenfell 😀

I spent 18 years of my life 1983 to 2001 living in CT and i can remmeber the apartheid era where trains were whites only 1st class and blacks 3rd class and the interior seating was a lovely stiched green leather. With your own safely opened window and above bag storage. How things have chainged since then

Lovely, Piet! Great to see some 'vintage' stuff! I was chatting with some people the other day, saying it was quite funny how I never used to give a second thought to the old 5Ms, now I get quite excited seeing one in service!
