Reefsteamers New Year Train Dec 2011

This is a little post I have to share of a Historic occasion I was involved with through an organisation called Reefsteamers with whom I volunteer. This train was part of the making of History as it was the first time in about 20 years that a passenger sleeper train had been into Port Shepstone. There is quite a bit of wind noise in the clip but it is none the less worth seeing for it's value in what Reefsteamers is doing for the Heritage Preservation of Steam Locomotives and the old SAR rolling stock. Unfortunately this train could not be pulled by a Steam locomotive but we are working on this for the future. The more that Transnet realizes the value of Tourism the more chance there is to run at least the last 100KM's of this trip under full steam which would be totally amazing and again historic.

Enjoy this virtual journey as much as I did the real one. :)
