As a child living in ‘Rhodesia’ I travelled from Umtali to Beira for my annual holiday at the sea in one of these trains. Seemed to take forever and stopped at every little siding along the way. Engine driver ‘Portuguese’ stopped at sunrise drew a bucket of hot water and had a shave before continuing on to Beira ..... we kids played alongside the tracks whilst he shaved.

When I lived in Zambia we used to travel to 'Rhodesia' on Zambia Rail's Garratt's. As kids we used to call them "Puffer Bellies". Thank you KochersbergTV for the memories.

Thank you for this incredible memory throwback to 1987. My father was seconded to ZESA - Zimbabwe's Electricity supply authority at Wankie A and B. I had the guid fortune to be his eldest son and had two memorable sojourns to Zimbabwe, Zambia , Botswana and South Africa - in Apartheid days - not good !! I travelled from TJ to Bulawayo thence to Jo'burg, To PE via the Algoa Bay express and to CapeTown and back via The Trans Karoo xpress then the International train to Bulawayo. An experience I will never forget...ever !! I was invited at 3am in the morning after a braai to present myself at the Wankie Coilliery offices for a footplate ride I would never forget at 6.30am.... I had just stepped off an NRZ footplate ride from TJ to Vic Falls and back on the mail train … how ???? I have never forgotten Africa …. I have never stopped loving Zimbabwe and its incredible people …. I have never been so sad too see the bread basket … the most beautiful, the most successful country and the most loving, trusting, caring people so sadly taken and dumped, raped and left for dead. I cry frequently for my heart is always in Zimbabwe - be it at Wankie, Vic Falls - boiling pot, Kariba, Chinoi, Inyanga - my favourite, the Vumba, Chimanimani, the beautiful Birchenough bridge, the absolutely stunning GREAT ZIMBABWE, Cecil Rhodes grave in the Matopas and the totally breath taking Hwange National Park. I have been so blessed to know this great country and so want it to rise again - to feed Africa and be its centre- its pivot - its heart !! That's how much I love this great country and its incredible people

Once the red soil of Africa has got in your blood you will never be rid of it. I too am of Rhodesia and am so sad to see how it has suffered due the moral and ethical corruption of the leaders. One day it will flower again for all its inhabitants to enjoy. For me in the eastern highlands, Leopard Rock Hotel and Troutbeck Inn are great along with the tremendous views from the Roof of the World lookout.

I once drove a Garrat 15 Class from Vic Falls to Wankie with a full passenger load back in '74 - when I was just eleven years old (you heard right), along with a stoker named Chivassa - the actual driver was back in the dining car playing cards with the chief steward and the conductor. I actually had to emergency halt the train to allow Rhodesian Army sappers to remove Russian landmines from the tracks somewhere up near the escarpment coming out of the Zambezi valley. My son and I just watched this and he had tears in his eyes as I explained everything to him (I was born an orphan in Bulawayo). What is truly bizarre is he has just reached the age where he is allowed to read my autobiography "Acid Alex" and only yesterday started reading about his "grandfather" Sandy ... the driver of that train and the incredible human who taught me everything about being a man and then trusted me with all our lives on that auspicious day ... in an immeasurably beautiful piece of Africa where misery and war have never ended. Utterly Astonishing! Look at this Sandy!!! The old girls are still running!! Amazing what pops up on RU-vid feeds randomly.

Steam was still in regular service in Zimbabwe. In fact, now that I think about it, I've managed travel behind steam from Cape Town to Victoria Falls. Ah, memories.

Quite a few are of trains and autos in either Africa or the Middle East. The trains in this video match what's in some of the photos, which helps place where she took them. So cool to see them still running!!!

Another one of your awesome videos ending with the Garrat on the magnificent bridge overlooking Victoria Falls.

And of course your capture of those spectacular Victoria Falls with the Garrat is a great bonus.

Reminds me of my years in Wankie, working at Wankie Colliery in the mid seventies. We had 19 class Garrats, my friend Peter Wells maintained the locos. In June 1972 at No. 2 Colliery underground desaster 240 people died. The mine was then closed and we started No. 4 Colliery opencast mine, a new railway line was build from No.2 via No.3 Colliery to No.4 Colliery. We had to cross traditional elephant paths, part of the line ran on an embankment crossing elephants path. There were several encounters with upset elephants, well elephant met elephant you could say. Never had an accident though. But the annoying thing was jumbo went up the embankment on one side sat on its backside and and slid down on the other side, eroding embankment, we forever had to shore up the embankment. It was a fun time working on the mine. Always a pleasure to think back!

Got a photo of me as a kid standing next to one of these (bulawayo Express) at Victoria Falls Hotel station, right at the front, some valve opened and a huge jet of steam came out scared me half to death. Great times, fondly remembered.

It's always cool to see steam locomotives that are still in service! :) And they are very interesting locomotives as well :)

The term “preservation” isn’t heard often in any African country but in this instance they had these in a secluded storage area. As Zimbabwe slowly imploded after Mugabe, the money wasn’t there for a lot of things and a couple of the old steam engines were put to work. The country has not maintained its infrastructure in any way and now they’re dealing with sewage mixing in their drinking water. These old Garrets are an amazing example of what high quality really is.
