[@jankotze1959]

This video blown me away Piet, NEVER EVER seen a Steam Locomotive and a Diesel hooked together, how on earth do they control the power to the rail to be more or less the same, congratulations to the camera men that took this videos, I feel the diesel push the steam loco or the steam one pull the diesel and be un-efficient in this way, that is why this is SUPER SPECIAL, I would like to know how they calculate that, thanks for sharing my friend💯👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@tims1542]

Light steaming all the way sadly 😥 nothing like some dolly stack chat!

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Yes. Very true comment.

[@marval44039]

A steam and diesel locomotive combination,very nice. What was that red tanker behind the class 35s?

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Hi Marval, thanks for the view and comment! The red tanker contains furnace oil for the CRC oil burner steam locomotives. There is a small petrol engine mounted with the tanker to pump the fuel across to the locomotive.

[@brakanjan]

I hate the music rather no music

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Thank you for your feedback - appreciated! A question please: is it the specific tune (which happens to be titled "Twighlight Train") which irritates you, or do you want no audio at all with the still images? Thank you for your reply.

[@DiamondMaster20]

Another excellent video, my friend! Wishing you all the best in the new year! I'm giving you a shoutout in our next video, just to say thanks for your support. I hope that you'll read through the description and check out the end screen for a link to your channel. Cheers!

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Thank you so much Andrew. May 2022 bring you many more excellent captures! I appreciate your plan for a shoutout! I always enjoy your descriptions - they add so much value! Sorry for my inactivity the past month or so. We currently are in a bit of a bad spot with very little train traffic locally because of electrical cable theft on many routes in the country - criminals are "harvesting the infrastructure" - mostly for the copper cables content. To be honest, this problem is extremely difficult to police - one can not have a presence everywhere! I expect a transition to diesel motive power. Otherwise, it is summer here and very warm, so I mostly stay inhouse. Will look in again soon on your channel. Cheers!

[@Imsaptouw]

Lovely little compilation! The video at 1:16, does Johan live in the area, that looks like Avondale.

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Yes, correct - Johann lives there; his wife took the footage, Johann in fact was the driver of the 35's - he only gave a split-second toot while passing ...

[@Imsaptouw]

@@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA that's very interesting, as i stay not too far from there, bout 10mins

[@mrsaturngamingandstories]

I have a question which is the first locomotive in Africa?

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

VERY GOOD QUESTION !!! Egyptian National Railways is considered to be the first railway lines established in Africa and the Middle East, and the second in the world after the United Kingdom, where construction began in 1834, when the railway tracks were actually extended to Suez-Alexandria line. However, the work was stopped due to some political reasons. Subsequently, the idea was revived in the fifties of the nineteenth century in 1851 to reach all over Egypt’s governorates. The first railway line in Egypt was extended between Cairo/Alexandria. It was established by an English company during the era of Khedive Abbas I, who took over the power in Egypt in 1848, and lasted six years until 1854. The purpose of extending the railways lines in Egypt was to facilitate and accelerate the transport of mail and travelers between Europe, especially England, and India, which was England’s largest colony in the East. Transportation between Europe and Egypt was Egypt, where ships came from Europe to Alexandria Port, then were transported by road to Cairo, then to Suez Port so as to travel in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean to reach India. The English company asked the help of Robert Stephenson, the son of the inventor of the steam train, to set up this project, which is regarded as the first of its kind in the Mashreq, where Khedive Abbas I signed a contract with Robert Stephenson with a cost of 56 thousand English Pounds to establish a railway linking between the Egyptian capital and Alexandria with a length of 209 kilometers. He supervised the job of bringing all equipment needed for the project. The work finally began in 1852 and was completed in 1856. SOURCE: www.enr.gov.eg/En/ENR.aspx?ID=2

[@OnTrackwithJamesJade]

Was that tank on the flatcar full of water?

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Actually it is filled with furnace oil for the oilburner loco
