A vividly illustrated album of South Africa's narrow gauge railway from Port Elizabeth to Avontuur, with branches to Patensie and the Eastern Province Cement Corporation.

A predominantly (but not exclusively) color paperback album taking the reader on an illustrated journey along this iconic South African narrow gauge railway from Port Elizabeth to Avontuur, including the branches to Patensie and the Eastern Province Cement Corporation. Garratts, NG15s and Class 91s all feature prominently. The photographs were taken in the period from 1969 to 2010, and showcase not just the modernization and subsequent rundown of the railway in that period, but the stunning South African scenery through which it passed.
