25NC Steam locomotive from Kimberley to Bloemfontein. 22/06/24.

In preparation for the NCCR private photographic event/tour taking part in July 2024 around the 18th and the 19th. The steam locomotive is being transferred to Bloemfontein on 22/06/24 for the event.

It was a successful transfer/test without any breakdowns! many props to the team that made it possible.... many thanks to @Steamnet2000!

according to my understanding this is the first 25NC Steam locomotive to operate in this line single headed without an assist of a diesel locomotive in 18 years! the last to operate here with their steam locomotive was ‪@RovosRail1989‬

NB:please be aware that this is going to be a private event for tourists.


please excuse the "date" error on the video.
