It is the ultimate book on Locomotives and Trains of South Africa - Together with the book from Boon Boonzaier on the railway lines it is the ultimate reference for ...

Foreword ...

Thank you also for the link; I have already written an email to VidRail.

I read the book from Boon Boonzaaier: TRACKS ACROSS THE VELDT and I look for a map of the current status of the railways in SA.

I am especially interested in the electrified lines (Metrorail, Gautrain, Transnet).

Gottfried from Austria

I want to know, if there are books on these subjects. I have just received "Tracks acroos the Veldt" from Boon Bonnzaier. But I have found little on the modern locomotives of South Africa.
