NRZ 20 Class Garratts Bulawayo to Plumtree

[Spalterbockl]

Thank you again for your answer and your posting! Great stuff you do!

Fantastic stuff! 2 class 20 on one train! Since I believe that at that time you did an analog recording, how do you avoid drop-outs?

@Spalterbockl this footage was recorded on a Sony TRV-7 Mini DV digital camera. Audio and video are both digital. I had a Sennheiser mic as well.

Majestic!!! At the start of the video, Locomotive No. 190 is/was the less popular German or Soviet Union steam loco built by Baldwin Locomotives Works. One of them is now kept at Hwange Colliery Museum... I think so.

Great vid! is it still in operation?

[steamfreak3450]

@Ganjastar there are still Garratts operating in Bulawayo, and farther afield on special tours. There is one coming up this year with Geoff's Trains

A good historical record of the last revenue freight hauled by a RR 20th Garratt and, the last time any 20th class left the Bulawayo metro area....wow almost 10 years ago.

Wonderful video Trevor. I travelled on this one, there and back, and great to see it from the lineside. The break in the bad weather was handy for taking photos at Plumtree. Damn shame that these two fine locos are now out of service...
