The commemorative headboard really looks great as 2650 waits for signals. The Telkom tower with World Cup soccer ball on, the Gautrain track bridge and the UNISA university all look on at railway history

The 150th anniversary train winds its way over the crossovers in Pretoria station, whilst the Metro sets await their passengers.

19D 2650 heads north through Pretoria station. Lovely to hear the clanking of her motion echo amongst the buildings.
