These pictures are really nice. I also found a place where I could take pictures of the train from above (nearby Muizenberg). I will post them later.
I also took a video and pictures nearby Glencairn. When I was there this October, I stood nearby the beach you can see on picture 1.

Allan, you always seem to have a way with unusual train pics. These are great - an interesting combination of trains and landscapes. I really like the last one, looking down into a clear sea.
