    Cool video weereens Jaco😎goeie angle by net onder 5minute. Lyk of jy gesit het kamera laag. Moes die zoom net 3 sekondes later laat skuif, volle effek van die 18E die draai klaarmaak sou meer dramaties gewees het😂maar nogtans great footage hele video. Container monopoly gebreek deur die erts trein, cement en petrol/diesel tenkers. Die tyd daar gespandeer is oor n oor moeite werd. Dankie goeie videos

      @@abisheknepaul7785 Thank you my friend. Those sparks are from the section isolator at the substation. It's normal when the train draws a lot of amps on a uphill. Because we use 3000V DC current here, it usually arc like this.

    Are the tracks switched manually or by a computer or something/ automatically?
