The great day has arrived!
After 37 years on the footplate, Trainman Berelowitz has finally qualified as a train driver.
He achieved this distinction today 16 December, being passed out by Coen Pretorius with flying colours.
Unfortunately, his new-found skills could not be put to good use, since yet another FOTR train was cancelled at the last moment. Inability to fix a set of stuck points by highly incompetent network staff turned the final Tshwane Explorer into a Tshwane Aborter. The passengers went home again and the yaer came to a cynib\cally fitting end for us, as it started.
However, we are confident that Trainman will lead us back to past glories in 2012.
Enjoy these pics featuring the man, with guard/fireman Gabor, TM James Smith and yours truly..
