Photos of South African Railways (SAR/SAS),Soornet or TFR Steam Motive Power! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space. If you have photos of FOTR Engines and Stock, please post them in the FOTR Gallery in the Friends of the Rail Forum above.

First light and the morning train from Cullinan enters Pretoria station, with the imposing UNISA building hanging on in the background. Three times weekly this scene was repeated with the train departing Cullinan via Rissik at 06:15 am. All stops to Koedoespoort. Since 2010 the Rayton to Cullinan section has been the venue for sleeper thieves and recently a lot of steel sleepers were relocated, resulting in FOTR having to bus the passengers from Rayotn to Cullinan. This scene was early 1982

Pretoria's "Blou Bull", 19D locomotive, number 2749 fresh from Bloemfontein workshops and pinstriped as well. This loco was used on the Blue Train shunt for many years and was eventually relocated to Voorbaai depot and since painted black. Seen here at Capital Park.

A stirring advert indeed on the old SASSAR magazines.

Naughty Nathan has removed his regular 3127 locomotives cabside off the 15F and put on the class 23 cabside. With the long tender on this locomotive, it would be difficult to tell the class difference to the uninitiated.

4 yard shunt down near the Pretoria West yards on a lazy Saturday afternoon in 1980. Myself and driver Venter.
