We now follow events as the unfurled at Cullinan.
Upon arrival, the passengers detrained, and the loco then pushed the load back. Speeches were made by Peter Stow of PRASA and Chris de Vos of UTATA, with Nathan as usual having the final say. The ribbon was then ceremonially broken to usher in the next 150 years.
Guests then proceeded to the Cullinan Lodge for lunch, while the loco was serviced, watered and turned.
