Isn’t she beautiful….! 4am-10am photo shoot with Camerastuff to Capital Park Pretoria and Friends of the Rail who unstintingly restore and maintain a few of what’s left of our National Heritage Steamers in their private capacity with no government and very little private sector funding. I am happy to pay a measly R150-00 for a mornings shoot. FOTR were very accommodating, running Engine 2650 back and forth so that about 60 of us could get some awesome shots.

Thanks to our culture-less management at Transnet who have taken over 15 years to finally wake up and “might” now begin pushing restoration and preservation work for steam tourism. A bit late, as over 90% of our steamers have been plundered and turned into scrap at various grave yards around the country.
