Steam locos in George
Posted: 31 May 2010, 16:28
So, one day was a lot traffic at the station and depot of George. I assume that was the day when the Union Limited was there. It was in 1995 as I visited George to have a ride on the Outeniqua Tjoe Choo but before the train left, I walked around at the station and the depot and took some pictures of the locos I saw there.
Unfortunately I don't have the numbers of all locos but I assume here are so many experts which can help.
Therefore I post some pictures here because they have nothing to do with the Outeniqua Tjoe Choo.
If I'm wrong please place this posting to the correct part of the forum.
The next picture I have already posted in a comparition of the coaling station then and now.
I hope that these pictures are interesting to you.
