I'm sure glad this magnificent steamer is still with us. I rode across the Karoo behind it in 1982. She impressed me with both power and speed capabilities. Thank you for sharing this with us.

South Africa once had probably one of the most efficient railway networks on the planet managed and operated with pride and dedication by experts in their various fields. What has happened?

thanks for producing and publishing a great video about trains, without a lot of extraneous nefarious music and chatter. Love the wheel slip starts on grades.

When is she going to run again ? Sad to see her deteriorating outside the Royal Cape Yacht Club

I believe she is still being looked after and may yet grace the rails in the future again.

As an American, this engine is just gorgeous. Unlike anything we have in the States.

so you have never seen the 4449, the 700, the 844 and the 3985?? Those are just 4 of the many restored and running steam engines in the US.

Sy ís gebou om BAIE stoom te maak ja om daai silinders vol stoom te hou wanneer sy baie vinnig hardloop.

Red is not good colour for steam Loco. Best is black colour. Colour of steam coal.

Are you sure? Even when the name of the loco is: The Red Devil⁉️
