As in many countries in the 1970s, South Africa's railways were
making the change over from steam to diesel and electric traction
at an ever-increasing pace. As a member of the Locomotive Club of
Great Britain the author was able to join a tour organised in 1973
to see steam in action at a time that some of the older types of
locos were still around, and there was still a considerable amount
of regular steam working. Featuring a variety of rare and
unpublished colour photographs, George Woods shows the great
variety of locos in action - from 4-8-2 tank engines to huge 4-8-4s
and Beyer-Garratts, often polished and decorated by their crews,
which could be seen in daily service.
