One of the most pleasant sections of track in the Gauteng area of South Africa, the very much secondary line from Pretoria to Magaliesburg. Long since closed but in 1992 it still boasted a freight working.
Sand traffic from a pit at De Moot was served by rail, albeit it behind diesel.
On 18 July 1992 Capital Park shed in Pretoria provided 19D no 3334 for the working for no other reason than because they could.
The train is seen here shortly after sunrise between Hekpoort and Elberta en route to Maglaliesburg.
