Great to see 11-coach trainsets running at speed, as they should! It's been a while since I last saw a full length suburban set and one that does not stop at every signal along the way! That Modderdamweg bridge at minute 1:15 onwards was built at the time when we were rewiring Bellville cabin to open the Monte Vista line in the early 1980's. I was a Pupil Engineering Assistant in Signalling at the time and we did the rewiring on the relay room and power panel at the time. I remember how the resident signal technician was called out regularly to the points near the bridge " lost detection" - this was because of the points physically moving due to the ongoing work on the foundations for the bridge. The road going half over Bellville station was also built then.
@@RAILFANinSOUTHAFRICA Wow! That an honour Piet. I actually have some pictures of back then. If you are interested, send me a mail to koorts.willie@gmail.com and/or WhatsApp to 0724579208.
Metrorail train videos South Africa cool remembering the days when Metrorails original colours was red and White, Maroon and Grey colours that New light blue train coach at Cape Town Station is nice.
Piet thank you for compiling this, I really enjoyed watching this it must have taken alot time and effort. What was going on at 15:50 that the train had to use the loop? . Oosterzee looks like a nice station to film from
