More Atlantic Rail photos June 2013

With Frikkie driving and Brett firing, plenty of testing took place and the loco rode up and down as far as the Eastern Boulevard bridge. 200m. By 15h00 it was time to drop the fire and start on 3655. We had a smooth trip yesterday with another load of happy passengers. We had two visitors over the weekend. Gabor Kovacs and Les Labuschane. Gabby is a driver from Friends of the Rail in Pretoria and Les was a driver from Rovos. We was here to be rested by Jan Botha.

Now to prepare the DA for the test trip in July. We will be coaling as usual on Saturday and cleaning the DA up ready for the test trip. The weather looks good for next weekend so come along and give us a hand. I enclose some photos from Saturday.

Keep warm and have a good week.
