Remarks & Notes

My first track side view of an SAR 4-8-4!. "Ilise" is seen hurrying a north bound passenger train for Kimberly. Although only 3'6" gauge speeds of 70MPH were not unknown. This was taken on the first of about 14 trips to South Africa.

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!
