Photo Trip around the Northern Cape

Post by James Attwell »

Some electric action along the once famous Kimberly De Aar line. Photos tacken at Witput and Beacons Field. The line that once saw up to at least 50+- trains a day, now only has about 4 or 5 trains a day in either direction.

Great photos James. Come down to the Western Cape. We still have plenty of 6E's running.
