South African Railways 'Red Devil' - July 13 2018 

One of the most famous steam locomotives in the world, the South African Railways Class 26 No. 3450 'Red Devil' ran its first post-restoration passenger train on Friday the 13th of July 2018 from Cape Town to Robertson in the Western Cape of South Africa. Bad weather dogged the chase all along the route, but it also made for some moody and dramatic shots. Quite simply, this is one of the most historic steam passenger trains run in South Africa in the last 20 years! It was a thrill to chase the train and record these images. Thanks to the Ceres Rail Company and Bobbie Rudman and co. who restored the loco and made this possible.
