Another Great compilation video,!

[@marval44039]

Excellent as ever Piet,loved the close up shot of the Telemeter. I can't believe how old those 6Es are and yet they're still running to this day. The newer class of locomotives will definitely not last as long as these old timers

The narrow gauge operations of the railroads of South Africa are impressive. The maintenance of the rights of way are also a big job to do. I rode in 1983 from Capetown to Praetoria. Great passenger accommodations and excellent service and food.

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

Thank you for commenting. 1983 is a long way back - the railroads were in a better condition then, but sending freigth by road was a game changer for the railways and it started to lose customers

Very nice compilation Piet

I see TRF is also now using EOT (End of Train) devices. (At 4:00 about at end of manganese ore train.)

Great videos! Keep them coming. I'm sure theres a really simple obvious answer to this...but why do some of the carriages have 3 yellow circles on the corners? Always wondered but maybe too embarrassed to ask 🙈

@@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA ahhhhhh! At last I can rest my mind now! Haha. Thank you Piet. Really enjoy your videos. Reminds me of traveling on the old transkarroo with my parents! I even have the original lima scale versions in a glass cabinet above my layout👍🏻

@@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA are railways in all SA have electrified?

[@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA]

@@karyanusa2403 No, not at all! Most branch lines are using diesel powered locomotives, but main lines are electrified.

[@drtalkboxsa9412]

After the neglect of 2020.. most mainlines have been fixed. The mainlines of Limpopo however have not been fixed. Pretoria to Polokwane…. Not fixed.. running on diesels. The Hoedspruit/Phalaborwa line running through bushbuckridge… same thing. No more electrics
