Remarks & Notes 
A mixed train to Knysna crosses the Kaaimans River bridge. This was one of the classic photo locations back in the old days. As South African Railways rationalized their network and closed branch lines, the Knysna branch survived as a steam powered tourist line. But more recently the line was closed by a landslide and has never been reopened.

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.

Rare South African photographs (older and newer) on RailPictures.Net, where the potential to recreate them either no longer exists for any number of reasons, or the chances of another opportunity are very slim or non existent!
