Over 700 km long, it showcased South Africa's finest railway scenery and the line from Oudtshoorn to George, via the Montagu Pass was an undoubted highlight. 1:36 grades , an amazing variety of steam locomotives including four different Garratt types. Freight, mixed, and passenger trains. Mountain railways at their best. Often dramatic lighting conditions, and locations such as Tunnel 5 were World renowned. . Splendid photography, complete with enlivened text, historical and technical information and a map.
