Nice video Jaco. Nice to see Class 5E-1s. Iconic locos.

Thank you, Ralph. I agree with you. Those class 5E1's are the best passenger locations ever built.

A historic moment The first time that Rovos use their own locomotives in KZN. A special sight. She'll be visiting you again this weekend,I hope you will be around again to welcome her.

[@jacomarais1976]

I agree, my good friend. I never thought I would see her with her own 5Es here on the NATCOR. Man, this was definitely an unforgettable moment. 🙏🙏

Thanks Jaco nice video. Did the 5Es not struggle with that heavy load

[@jacomarais1976]

You're welcome, Nigel. I spoke to the driver, and he said that the two 5Es are handling the load easy. It was only an 11 coach train.

Baie mooi Jacobus, lanklaas van jou gesien. Die wêreld bly maar 'n klein plekkie en die Rovos 'n pragtige Trein.😂
