Remarks & Notes

On a miserable winter morning this is ex Queensland Railway Class 1720 Clyde GL18C Co-Co, 1729D, shortly after being craned off the "Clipper Amber" and secured on a flatbed trailer, while 1769D hangs in the sling awaiting a spot on the wharf to be put down. They formed part of a consignment of ex QR National locomotives that were imported / shipped to South Africa in June 2012 for various private rail companies, including RRL Grindrod South Africa and AR & TS.
