When I was a fireman on the Rhodesian Railways, I went to Cape Town foe a holiday back in the late 60's. We had a 15F up front and a friendly crew. I asked if I could step up onto the footplate which they agreed to, and offered me a ride on the footplate as far as the next stop. I must say that it was one of the cleanest and best polished footplates I have ever travelled on apart from the day I drove an ex-workshop 14th class out of the workshop.
