Just half a kilometre to go, but the crew of this GMAM Garratt locomotive show no sign of letting up before reaching the summit of Montagu Pass. At this point the train is on a ledge some 250m above the valley floor below – this is surely the most spectacular of South Africa’s railway passes!
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
