Remarks & Notes 
Our chartered mixed train rounds the oft photographed curve near the Zulu village of Mjila. A David Rogers special. My wife says the red flowers are called Red Hot Pokers, which sounds appropriate. Sadly, the last word I heard was that this line was no longer used for freight service, and therefore was not being maintained and no longer usable for steam charters. Apparently the 4074 is marooned at Creighton with only the yard tracks to run on. Can anyone update that information.
