Stunning capture. Little compares with the sound and sight of big steam locos under load. Wow!❤
Another great clip Simon. Brings back many memories. Thanks for posting
Absolutely phantastic!
This is a sound such a real pity most youngsters won't hear or see as our Steam Trains are left to rot on dumps instead of being on display so young generation can see our Transport that was such a lovely sound to hear plus see I just love the old Steam Trains so did many people plus children really sad
Great video ans nice steam locomotives of SAR
I've got to go to bed. More steam tomorrow.
And to believe these beasts ran on 3ft 6'' gauge track! Compared to Japanese steamers, which (mostly) run on the same gauge, they're so much more imposing.
The South African crews definitely knew how to run their trains at maximum.
Steam monsters
