A couple of 62s were on the port shunt and 9301 seemed a regular on the container trains heading out to the main line. In the yard outside the main station I was invited up into the cab of the duty 62 and spent a very pleasant couple of hours shunting, putting together a freight that departed west behind 9301 around 1700. Several of MagadiSoda’s locos were stabled here including 4706, 5002 and 9905. 9905 departed west with a train about 1600.

Re: Mombasa diesels
I love that first shot. The composition, the ship in the background, the open space... superb.
