Railway Passes

Post by stephen van niekerk »

Attached see scans of railway passes used by the Imperial Military Railways and also SAR&H.

The SAR "lifetime" passes are made of 9 ct gold and were issued to ministers of parliament to allow them free passage throughout the country.

Is anyone aware of any other railway passes (excluding the more modern paper/cardboard booklet issues)?

These scans have been made available by other tokens collectors, and are not from my own collection.

I see one has "FT Bates" on the back, he had a tugboat named after him.
Not quite on the rails.
