Nice publication.. At 0:52 would it be a joke or tease with the babysitters? Who will know... At 1:41 to 1:50, scenes of Argentina and Holland at the soccer world cup, possibly 1974... And at 5:10 onwards, a rare record of lightness in some disembarkation at some train station... Times gone by that won't come back.

Wow, this certainly brought back memories of my firing days at Voorbaai. I know both those garratts very well. Give me 4072 over 4122 any day. Sadly they robbed 4072s boiler and placed it onto 4122s frames in 1998 or so. They then scrapped 4072s frames and 4122s boiler. The two drivers in your clip are wonderful Twakies Barnard who was a great chap to work with and the one out in the rain is Manitjies Visser. Sadly neither of them are with us today. Thanks for posting

The old tunnel is the oldest rail tunnel in south Africa, maybe the oldest rail tunnel in Sub-Saharan Africa. The new tunnel is the longest rail tunnel in Africa, or the southern hemisphere.

In a sense, much of it has survived. Just no running trains nor stations functioning as rail stations. OK, they picked up the rails but the former right of ways are clearly visible.

Baie dankie vir die kosbare video. Die oorspronklike stasie gebou het darm tot onlangs bly staan todat die munisipaliteit daarin getrek het en dit afgebrand het. Dit was 'n merkwaardige gebou wat 'n mooi herinnering van Makadas was. Hierdie is werklik 'n kosbare video sodat ons kinders kan sien hoe dit hier in Ladismith was in die goeie ou dae!
