An amazing video this is. Great to see two Rovos Rail trains at Kimberley station. Now I can see how the train can be turned around. I totally overlooked it on google earth when trying to locate it. Following the land marks and buildings I could trace where you are and how the track, which is barely visible on the satellite image, is situated. A triangular track turn around, whereas the one in Pretoria at Pyramid is a loop turn around. Brilliant. Thanks again for posting these excellent videos.
@@hylands1962 it's only a pleasure. ❤️🇿🇦
Thank you for an amazing video of your trip on this luxurious Blue Train. Looks like you guys had a wonderful time on board on your way to Pretoria. It feels like I was on board with you guys. Fantastic. I have just one curious question for you. When the train leaves Kimberly station to be turned around, at what area at the yard does it go to do this turn around. I have been trying to find it on Google Earth, but I can’t locate the area. Perhaps you could send me a picture or map detailing the area where the train gets to be turned around. That would help me understand how it is done. I really enjoy all your videos that you have posted on this CZcams channel and that you have done a great job with it. I to have been on the Blue Train many years ago back in the 1980s and it was a great experience for me. One I’ll never forget. I have also past through Kimberly station many times as well. Even getting of the train to take pictures of the steam locomotive coupling up to our Transkaroo express. Anyway keep up with the amazing work you are doing on this page.
@@hylands1962 Good day. Thank you for checking in with me! Much appreciated! 🇿🇦❤️ Okay it leaves the station once it reaches Beaconsfield station it diverts into the mainline 2kms or so into the mainline on your left side there's an non-electrified line that heads out to Bloemfontein... They get into that line for about 800meters in then they stop the train and reverse back to Alex yard from there join the mainline and back to the station. There's a video I uploaded four months ago "Rovos Rail to Namibia" whatever I just explained there I filmed live on that video.
@@EverythingTrains95. Thank you so much for your reply in connection with my question and the explanation of how the train is turned around. I will definitely look at the video you mentioned about it as soon as possible. I am trying to catch up with all your videos and I haven’t gotten around to that video about Rovos Rail yet. Just so many great videos to watch. 😊.

Die blou trein is te duur vir die gewone toerist in Suid-Afrika en ek dink dit het sy fleuer verloor want die trein het te oud geraak. Ons jongmense het 'n meer jong futuristiese trein nodig wat vinnig is soos die TGB in Europa om die verskillende dele van die land te kan sien en ontdek, met stasies wat modern is en nie lyk asof die verlore geraak het in die ou tyd nie.

Our stations are very untidy. This during a time when politicians keep on promising jobs. To the unemployed😡
Love the observation deck on the back -- all the better to see the litter that seems everywhere in South Africa. Kinda cool how South Africa puts that out for all the world to see.

Vacuum brake? And I see the ex Queensland Rail GM.
@@stanleyj.mitchell4851 vacuum yes sir... And yep Australian EMDGL26C was being relieved by the electrics
@@EverythingTrains95 Excellent. Vacuum brake in Australia was in Western Australia, Queensland and I think Tasmania. I was a train driver in Western Australia. There is a locomotive going there from Western Australia called the DBZ class. Around 2500 horsepower I think. Keep a lookout. Good engine and very reliable. Oh, and thanks for the videos.

In the dining car on this train, in 1992, the other diner at my table was a pastor from Durban earning extra money by buying cars in Johannesburg, where the drier weather didn't cause the rust the cars in Durban were prone to, and selling them there, rust-free. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
@@brucewilliams8714 greetings 🙏🏿🇿🇦
Hi, so does that lovely Aussie diesel and the two electric units return to cape town and the 38s take the train the rest of the trip? If the Aussie diesel and electric units return to cape town I'd love to know where they are kept so I can get some photos or even video.
@@Galactic-Jack1978 Good day. Nope these were two different sets of trains... The first part of the video with the Australian EMDGL26C was from Cape town heading to PTA from there to Tanzania. The second video is the usual PTA to CPT set.... Nowadays they run with their locomotives straight to Cape town and back. First they used to store them in Kimberley then proceed with transnet locomotives.
Those Class 38s look so pretty in their new dresses
@@railwayjade neat 🇿🇦
In 1991, I travelled in this train from Pretoria to Cape Town. When my travel agent in Melbourne was booking the trip, I discovered that Car 10 had two single berths, each with a bathtub. I just had to book one. And, somewhere along the line, before dinner, i had my first (and so far only) real bath on a train. Our stop at Kimberley to change locos was well into the evening, not during the day, as here. Our Blue Train didn't have the observation car, which looks marvellous. It obviously has to be turned at each terminus, as the rest of the train is never turned in order to keep the corridor on the western, sunny and potentially hotter, side of the consist. Not having been to South Africa since 1992, I'm very disappointed to have read that the "steel kyalami" has been single-tracked. I have fond memories of chasing 25NCs along that line, and taking photos at Krankuil, Witput, Orange River. Thank you for reviving all these memories.
@@brucewilliams8714 Wow! Thank you for sharing your story with us 🙏🏿❤️ It's a pleasure 🇿🇦🙏🏿
These people want all poor countries to stop burning fossil fuel. Look how much "pollution" (in their word) they pump into the atmosphere, when good technology is available for the environment's friendly fuels.... Hipocracy, at it's core..
Is this electric it diesel locomotives?
Nice clip, I’ve taken that route. Short train.Beautiful countryside.Is the Red Devil still running ?
Hi Andrew, I'm not sure .... But I do know it's staged somewhere in Cape town.
Might be an idea to get a tripod
❤Beyond awesomeness lotsa memories
i was a stoker fireman in the 60s if you made that much smoke you got fined .that is a awesome machine.in Durban we had the CBs.and Garretts.Durban /Empangeni was a trip to fire,the drivers did not play.
There was a driver Odell on this Kimberly line 40 years ago! Could I be the same person? One of your best King,keep it up!
Yes sir! It's the same old Peter O'Dell 😀❤️
@@EverythingTrains95 Wow! Thought he went to China!
@@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649 no, he still here with me
@@EverythingTrains95 Good to hear!
Been to South Africa a few times behind these 25s and Rhodesian garrets. But met Mr Odell a few years ago on a steam trip in Bulgaria and within a couple of days he was in the cab training the local guys as they weren’t working the locos hard enough
What a treat! Steam loco's are pretty much limited to museums and very short distance tours in North America. Good to see that some places still let them do some real work once in a while.
Yes sir 🇿🇦🙏🏿
