Narrow Gauge line pix from South Africa
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, July 30, 2007 7:21 AM

Looks like this is the correct forum for these pix.

 Taken at Ixopo in Zululand, South Africa.  (Ixopo pronounced  "ee ko po")

Narrow gauge - 2'-00" and was used to cart sugar cane from the surrounding areas to a collection point to be railed again to a sugar refinery at Illovo.

The Garrett is quite unique + the two smaller loco's - I will dig up some more info on these Loco's later on.

I was unlucky to arrive at the yard to find it deserted, seems I got my dates mixed up for the actual day the loco's do a small run. These static pix will have to do for now..Blush [:I]
