An amazing video this is. Great to see two Rovos Rail trains at Kimberley station. Now I can see how the train can be turned around. I totally overlooked it on google earth when trying to locate it. Following the land marks and buildings I could trace where you are and how the track, which is barely visible on the satellite image, is situated. A triangular track turn around, whereas the one in Pretoria at Pyramid is a loop turn around. Brilliant. Thanks again for posting these excellent videos.
Wow this, was a very nice video I really enjoyed it and thanks for taking us further then KIMBERLEY station. Please make a video of the depot. I love the class 38s in their rovos livery. Which diesels did they use to pull the train to Namibia
Hi Nigel, thanks for checking in as always! They used the Australian EMDGL26Cs they were already waiting at the far end of the train. I'll see what I can do in terms of the depot 🙏🏿

Thinking of trans-karoo express train journeys.
Thanks. Did Rovos buy the 38s or are they leasing them from TFR?
They bought them 🙏🏿
