Remarks & Notes

On the Cape-Natal branch GMAM 4074 climbs the steep grade between Ceighton and Donnybrook with a mixed train in early morning light. The round huts (rondavels) are typical Zulu homes. Steam Loco Safari Tours and Umgeni Steam Railway turned the clock back 35 years.

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
