Remarks & Notes 
The sun has already set on another cloudless winter day in the Free State, as Sheltam's #1202 (ex- SAR 31-001) running long hood forward, hauls its train of empty hoppers from Harmony Gold's Central Plant to Masimong 4 shaft. By maintaining this veteran 55-year old locomotive (and stablemate #1201) in working order, Sheltam is keeping a small piece of South Africa's railway history alive.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
