Coaches at George Museum 2009

Post by Andreas Umnus »

Here are some pictures I took outside of the museum in George of the coaches which stood there instead were on the run.

I think they were still in use that time for the Outeniqua Choo-tjoe.
I not sure if coach 210 also was for the train.

I couldn't ride that train that day when I was there because the train was only running the next day :-(
That day when I took the pictures of the coaches was my last day I spend in George. That was bad luck.

When I was just viewing my old postings in the forum, I found this, written by Greg Hart

"for our beautiful springbok emblem windows"
in this posting: http://www.friendsoftherail.com/phpBB2/ ... 264&t=5978

And if you look at the detail photos at the windows, you will find some Springbok emblems.

So here the pictures:

Nice photos.

I think all these as well as 210 are staged on the platform line at present. To the best of my knowledge this set was only used when the Knysna line had two trains and in latter days the Mossel Bay service. Quite a waste of coaches as I would love to have these down here in Cape Town.

Yes why not think 8 each will be fine.

You will do it :-)

Sorry that I haven't more coaches to post. (I think).
