Rotary's Greatest Train Race - Witbank Marathon August 2007

Post by John Ashworth »

This forum is a learning experience and one thing we've just learned is that people with slow dial up connections have difficulty viewing a long thread full of photos, so we've split the photo section for Rotary's Greatest Train Race 2007 into several smaller threads each beginning with the title Witbank 2007.

Add your own pictures by starting a new thread in the FOTR Trips and Events section of the FOTR photo gallery.

Written reports and comments on the marathon are at http://www.friendsoftherail.com/phpBB2/ ... .php?t=373

Diesel traction at Witbank Station - the shunt cars take the coaches from the station to the loco shed. The steam engines have already gone to the shed.
