How often do you get to see three mainline steam locomotives at one time? A 25NC 4-8-4 has just taken water and two 4-8-2's are heading to the other end of the yard to pick up their train.

In the still morning air, the steam trail hangs above the rails as a 25NC climbs away from Fouriesburg with this recreation of the Bloemfontein to Bethlehem overnight passenger.

Two of South Africa's best at full throttle, powering up the steep climb toward Sheridan, with the grain silos of Fouriesburg in the distance.
