Elgin Valley Railway loco arrives Germiston Grand Finale

[Derek Walker]

Later that afternoon, Susan with her new charge navigated the mess of lines that make up Germiston goods yards and return to the Reefsteamers Depot

With Susan pushing, it almost looks like 19A is leading the train

How long do you think it will take to restore?

[Andreas Umnus]

The three reports of the Elgin Balley Railway are all very interesting. Yo did a good job taking all these pictures.

Who is restoring the locos? Volunteers from Reef Steamers or outside contractors also?
