Branch Line passenger service.
In an earlier posting of two South African Railways class 24 steam locos on shed at night, I mentioned the Passenger service on the Breyten - Lothaire branch. It's always a dangerous thing to stick you neck out with any degree of certainty, when you're not totally sure... but this I believe to be the branch line's passenger service. I never saw a rail passenger service at the time of my visit in 1984, but this International 6x4 tractor with semmi-trailer and drawbar luggage van wouldn't have been far off the length of the necessary train! It's seen here loading on the approach road to Breyten station.
