Thank you so much for sharing the Knysna sections - wonderful to see Garratts working on the line. The variety of locos and stock also really inspirational. One day someone might recognise and fund the potential of the line - there's nothing like it anywhere in the world that I know of.

A American-Built 4-6-2 “Pacific” in the country of Africa. It’s quite cool to know that it was built all the way from my home country United States of America and shipped towards the South African Railway here. South African Railway 860 is one of my favorite African Steam Locomotives.

Yes, wonderful video. I started in 1973 as a fireman, and this locomotive was there. All the 25 NC locomotives started from 3401 upto 3422. The driver who worked this 3422 regularly was Hannes Greef, a big guy, wonderful guy. Engin I fired was 3417 with driver Flip Marx, wonderful days. Hard work but worth it.

@@steamfreak Yeah, I visited the WST depot and can confirm it's true. However, I have been told by volunteers that she is actually being turned into an educational display to show all the inner workings of a steam locomotive, and they plan to display her in the centre of the Depot.
