  A American-Built 4-6-2 “Pacific” in the country of Africa. It’s quite cool to know that it was built all the way from my home country United States of America and shipped towards the South African Railway here. South African Railway 860 is one of my favorite African Steam Locomotives.

  Yes, wonderful video. I started in 1973 as a fireman, and this locomotive was there. All the 25 NC locomotives started from 3401 upto 3422. The driver who worked this 3422 regularly was Hannes Greef, a big guy, wonderful guy. Engin I fired was 3417 with driver Flip Marx, wonderful days. Hard work but worth it.
