Great! Love like a nice line! Is it still there??

@60103Henry Sadly the whole operation is now gone. Line was closed about 6 years ago and the locos dumped. With the SA railways and government having no interest in this kind of thing I really cannot ever see the line or the locos ever running again. There are a few steam clubs trying very hard to save whatever they can and are doing a great job but with no support from government its going to be very hard to keep any steam in that country.

Great shots.

Us "colonials" don't get much air play. From New South Wales, last days of steam in 1960s=
