    This view reminds me of my youth … We took this beautiful train once in awhile to take in the wonderful beauty of the cape’s coastline beauty…we took the steam engined train over the hex river valley to Kimberly … What a sight and but a height above the ground … The steam engine really chugged along those train lines…scary but oh so beautiful… Wow South Africa “u are a master piece in beauty”….U0001f44d

    Don’t think that’s going to the vineyards, looks more like the one that goes to Simonstown!

    My old man has volunteered working on steam trains for 12 years now, mending carriages and all kinds of repairs. He loves steam trains.
