I WAS 12 , AND I USED TO ENJOY THE SAME SCENE AT THE NAIROBI RAILWAY STATION ( 1958)
Born and bred in Kenya. My late father worked for Railways. He received an MBO on retirement. Sixty years service never had sick leave in his life. Never had a time piece in the house could tell the time with arrival or departure of these beauties Garrat steam locomotives E A R.
Beautiful Loco.... Still looks and sounds great
It's amazing they got there old locomotives running. So cool. I've only seen them at the museum static. I appreciate them more now than when I was a kid. I lived in Kenya for 5 years, but that was awhile ago. It's crazy how so much has changed. Modernized
It's good to see it live
Wonderful beastie (and great livery too).
Wow, great. My dad worked for EAR& H for 20 years. He would talk about the class Beyer-Garratt. Was this the loco, or the two extra wheels front and back of the loco.He's passed now so I can not ask him. Thanks - A santa sana.
