FOTR of yesteryear?
FOTR in years gone past perhaps? FOTR running in a London smog maybe? Could be a scene from the 1950s if the clothes were not so modern.

Re: FOTR of yesteryear?
If it was taken in 1012 then it really was yesteryear! OK, I know, it was a simple typo.
B&W photos are very atmospheric.
Is all the smog on the platform from the loco or is most of it from the smokers amongst the passengers?

Very nice shot and so atmospheric.
On a sad note, driver Manie Neethling passed away in a motorcycle accident this past weekend. He often drove FOTR trains and such as these in the early days.
