Remarks & Notes 
Sappi Saiccor's No.3 hisses away peacefully the cacophony of the paper mill while the fitters try solve a problem with the reverser. The worker on the right is lost in the magic of his cell phone - maybe he doesn't know that it is five minutes to midnight for South Africa's last two steam engines in daily, revenue-earning service. There are just weeks to go before No.3's fires are dropped for the last time. And then ... who knows? Picture taken with permission.
