About the Book
The Cape Midland line from Rosmead to Riversdale in South Africa was really quite something. Over 700 km long, it showcased South Africa's finest railway scenery and the line from Klipplaat to Oudtshoorn, via Toorwaterpoort was an undoubted highlight. Fantastic lighting conditions, and locations such as the 'Red Wall' were amongst the World's finest. Awe-inspiring. An extraordinary variety of locomotive types are depicted. Freight, mixed and passenger trains. Presented with enlivened text, historical and technical information and a map.
