After conversing with the crews of this 19D prior to them leaving Port Alfred and taking note of suggested vantage points we were able to take advantage of their visual and aural efforts... and play to the gallery they did. Their loco, SAR's maid of all work, the 19D, a sort of South African 'Black 5' was bulled up and new paint added strategically by them before departure then worked incredibly hard with smoke to order. A memorable afternoon followed chasing the train on it's journey back to Grahamstown during April 1986 of which this short video is just three scenes.

  • In the fourth shot the train is pulling out of a station. Which station is it? It looks to me like it could be Trappe's Valley...is this right?

  • It is so brilliant to see a Class 19D at Speed driven extremely well! Would be interesting to know what the cut-back was set at exactly, you can hear it a healthy and well serviced 19D as you can see she still wants to pull and gain speed, can see she has power in reserve.
