Putting birds to flight on the narrow gauge
| July 16, 2022 10:01PM |
This narrow gauge 2-8-4 and her mixed train seems to hold the full attention of this flock of birds along the Knysna branch in South Africa
But then it is time for them to launch into the air in a mad flurry of wings and try to get ahead of the train.
The engine: a 3ft 6in gauge South African Railways 24 class 2-8-4 in 1979
