Class GL Beyer-Garretts
Roy also has fond childhood memories of trains and shares this story with readers:
My best memories of trains come from the days of my child-hood. We lived within sight and sound of the North coast railway line, from Durban to Empangeni, in Zululand, Africa. I would be all tucked-up in bed, and listening to the Class GL Beyer-Garretts (articulated) working hard up the bank from Greenwood Park station, to Red Hill. In winter, these big locos would “lose their feet” when the tracks were frosted over, and it is an awesome sound, to hear these big engines slipping the two units, and slowly pulling back in step as they got going.
