Great pics, Nighthawk!
That side tank loco looks interesting, especially since it is standing on a piece of rack rail track.
When the line from Delagoa Bay (now Maputo) to Pretoria was first built, the route chosen for climbing the Drakensberg escarpment was by means of a rack rail line linking the stations Waterval Boven and Waterval Onder, going through a tunnel.
The tunnel has long since been replaced by a more modern piece of engineering, but one can hike through it.
The snow plough looks like a museum piece – has it been replaced by something more modern?
And Dutchy, how could anyone have taken you for an Amish?
I suppose it takes all kinds . . .
By the way, I like your answer to the bagpipe question
