Remarks & Notes |
The biggest train on the Natal Main Line, known as the "Python" - 65 X CAR Wagons, which are used to transport coal / manganese. This train is a regular and is always headed by five Class 18E units. In this case 18-616 is in charge as the heavy train cautiously negotiates the steep down gradients through Boughton in Pietermaritzburg. |
