This train is called Maureen and was built in 1912. She still does 2hr trips twice a month, run by Umgeni Steam Rail. I shot this on the 9th when we went up on a 3hr trip on a public holiday. Hope it's good enough :D

Love the smell of the old steam trains :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

I'll agree on that one, and the chug chug sound thru the night when it's pulling up a hill. I've got such a good pic for this challenge, it's more historical than antiquey...
