Last week Wednesday I drove back to Johannesburg from East London. The scenery as one summits Hobbs Hill is stunning. Again between Queenstown and Penhoek Pass and all the way to Aliwal is fantastic. Such a pity that one knows when one nears "human settlement" is by the plastic bag litter that is scattered in the veld.
Thank very much for this basie I could listen to your stories all the time. I like your description of the class 45 locos " Chinese girls'. You must write a book about your train stories. Which was the best locomotive class you worked on
