R4359. Class 25 at De Put. 2nd September,1972.

            R4359.  In the fading light at the end of the day, a Class 25 Condensing 4-8-4 on the famous South African racing stretch between Kimberley and De Aar.  The double track main line between Kimberley and De Aar was famous in steam days for the impressive performances put in by the massive 4-8-4s of class 25 and 25NC.

We drove for miles on unsurfaced roads like the one seen here as the best photographic locations were often very much off the beaten track!
