Sorry I forgot they were two separate clips. First one is the ride, and then cab ride. This one is the pacing one of more than one train. Gives you a better view of the 4-8-4's. Anytime you see one with a long tender that was a cut-down Condensing Engine tender. Once the most arid section from De Aar to Beufort West was dieselized they didn't have as much need for the famous Condensing engines....Class 25 4-8-4's. A class 25NC is also a 4-8-4 but a non-condensing 4-8-4 thus the NC after it. Anyway many of those condensers were reworked and basically made to 25NC's.
