&quot;Night duty&quot;: the atmosphere of a steam shed at night is captured here, as prestige locomotive 3127 class 15F has her tender filled, prior to working a special train to Witbank in the early 1980's. The scene was played out every night as locomotives came off shed for their shifts.<br />Today, this area at Capital Park shed now houses the class 25s of Rovos Rail, but 15Fs are still to be found there, under FOTR ownership.

Small but powerfull. The NGG16 class Garratt number 116 trundles down towards Harding on the now closed line from Port Shepstone. Not long after this scene, the South African Railways let the line become the first privatised operation, under the Alfred County Railway
