Soetandal - Wellington
The road out of Wellington runs next to the railway line for many km's. These two photos were taken whilst driving. Its worse than been on your cell phone.

Re: Soetandal - Wellington
I like both these shots because they're unusual. The first is an unusual subject - seven locos running light engine. The second is an unusual angle - I love the way the dry crop in the field truncates the train. Thanks for sharing, and congratulations for capturing these rare moments.

In your first picture . . . .
A lash-up of 6E/1's, of which no fewer than 4 locomotives are "lit" to tow another 3 "dead" locos! No wonder there is a shortage of electricity in SA. Seems ESKOM needs to do a bit of load-shedding on TFR????
