What is intersting in the pics is the seeming absence of vacuum-brake hoses and couplings, air-brake only by the looks of it. Surely this would be essential because not all SA rolling stock is air- or even dual-braked. There is still quite a bit of vacuum-only stock around, including older freight wagons, mainline passenger and Metrorail coaches.
