Copy of South African Industrial Steam 1990 Vryheid Colliery & Coke works

A few scenes recorded in 1990 at Vryheid 'Coronation Colliery' in South Africa. Most of the internal traffic at the time was worked by their North British built 4-8-2 and 4-8-4T locos, two of which are seen going about their business here. There's also a fleeting glimpse of a Bo-Bo Diesel which worked the 'main line' to the exchange sidings (and the GEA class Garratt - not in steam- on shed which deputised for the latter when it wasn't available). Most of the Colliery was a well manicured campus like place from memory, shame it's now closed. We were also lucky in being able to visit the associated Coke works as well ...a place which we'd been told we'd never get admission to.

Great clip! I remember visiting there a year later but not a lot was going on, and the Garrett was in bits. Had a bit more activity at Randfontein and Enyati....only 26 years ago but so much has changed since then.
