Train from bloemfontein

[Captain Kong]

Here is a very interesting video of a train going home to Scotland by ship from Bloemfontein loaded down the hatch in Durban and shipped home after 40 years, good music too,
Vernon would like it.
Cheers

That takes me back many Years too Capt
When I was a Steward on the South African Railways in the Mid 1950's ,used to stop there many a time on our way to Johannesburg from Cape Town on the then old Bullet (Double Header South African Class 25 4-8-4 Engines) that ran through the Great Karoo.
Some wonderful memories of those trips!
I loved the Trains!
Cheers
