SAR Show & Tell
« on: November 06, 2015, 09:35:55 PM »
Hi All,

I thought it would be nice to put together some photos of SAR locos and steamers that anyone sees around today.

Post a Photo, tell us where you saw her, and what she was hauling. Any extra details are welcome :)

Anyone keen?

I still see a few nice Diesel Electrics every now and then.

Regards,

Rick

I'll start it off...

Drove home today in Somerset West and passed 4 beautiful SAR Class 35's MUed together. A Class 35-400 follow by 3 Class 35-000's hauling a load a malt and barley.

Had a nice chat to the conductor and the driver who gladly showed me around in the cab. The need for the 4 locos on the small train is the hottentots-holland mountains that the train needs to climb.

Nice, I had the privilege to be in the cab of a Class 35 while in operation. If I remember correctly it was 35 007.
