15CA 2850 near Rayton on the Cullinan branch, June 1982

The photographer, Dave Rodgers comments:
...and continuing on the theme of Panpoort and 15CAs here is your own and one-time Capital Park favourite loco No. 2850. Smoke not by arrangement, just doing what 15CAs do naturally! Leaving Rayton with the afternoon Pretoria - Cullinan local in June 1982.

Now then here is the challenge. You can still do this shot leaving Rayton (not sure if Fireman Berelowitz can make enough smoke though!) so try and get all the resources of FOTR mobilised to get this loco ready for 2011. You have 12 months plus a further month for any snagging! Imagine 2 days on the Cullinan branch (and Zonderwater) with 15F, 24 and 15CA?

Perhaps that is me in the cab! What a super loco and much sweat of mine is on that footplate floor!
