Pics from footplate of 2650 - 9th Aug 2010 Tshwane Explore

Post by Gabor Kovacs »

Here are a few pictures that I took en-route as the train snaked it's way out of Pretoria Station, onto the Pretoria to Koedoespoort section of line, viewing some of the Gautrain Works on the Monday, 9th August 2010 on the FotR's Tshwane Explorer.
