18E at CPK

Photos of Southern African Electric Motive Power! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space. If you have photos of FOTR Engines and Stock, please post them in the FOTR Gallery in the Friends of the Rail Forum above.

Eugene's photos are always brilliant. Something that puzzles me is why one would need three 18E's to pull 35 freights. Surely two would do the job with ease.

Stefan,
A bigger puzzle is why it took well in excess of 30 mins to get authority for this freight train to enter the CPK yard. This caused the FOTR excursion train to Cullinan to be held up at Hercules station for ages and ages.
