Tshwane Doubleheader 16 December

Post by Chris Janisch »

The long-awaited return to service of 24 3664 was timed to coincide with the final FOTR public train of the year. This wonderful social occasion saw our Pocket Rocket doubleheaded with longtime stablemate 19D 2650. Some shots along the way and from the train follow.
