Hello 27vet and welcome to the Railway Forum. I'm an ex-Rhodesia Railways Footplate man. I have done the Ndola (Zambia) to Cape Town route, the Jo burg to P.E. and the Cape Town to P.E. over the Garden Route all as a passenger. Must say I have never had a bad trip and remember the wake up call with the gongs and Tea or Coffee. I can still remember the taste of that coffee 50 years later.
I was lucky enough to spend a hour on working on the Saiccor Class 19D in September last year as it shunted the yard at Umkomaas.
