Nathan "Trainman" Berelowitz attempting to steal signal cables from PAP 122 - or is he just seeking a good platform for photographing our train during a 49 minute signal check?

and pilot take a traditional "waiting" railway seat. This particular day was
the worst ever for FOTR with signal delays. This one was 49 minutes!

Even if I say so, this looks like a great train. So old school in its colours and setting.

Not from a RSR point of view. How "safe" is it to climb onto the signal ladder? That wires always looks so terribly close!

Very safe, otherwise we would have a shortage of signal technicians!

curb expansion of the informal settlement on the eastern side!
