A typical South African Railways Branch Line (Part Three): shunting!

Part three of this series. Not as big as the mainline electrics or class 34-000 diesels, but it's old, beautiful and something for train-fanatics/train lovers. Watch as the class 35-000's roar around in the shunting yard preparing a train for Rietpoel. Part four coming soon...

I have noticed that after coupling no brake test is done. Why? The driver just pulls off.

Hi Kenn. :) Thanks for asking. Actually, brake tests are always done, even during shunting. If you look carefully, the clip was cut, removing the brake test and skipping to departure.
