RN 235 - Illovo Sugar steam powered narrow gauge sugar cane railway

We are greatly indebted to Wendy Vineall for having taken the time and trouble to put a consolidated set of photographs together on a CD of mostly locomotive photographs dating back to the days when Illovo Sugar had an active steam powered narrow gauge sugar cane railway operation in place. These photographs are of huge value to preservationists because they show many of the items that are currently in preservation actually at work. They also assist the engineering staff in evaluating what these locomotives look like so that restoration can be as true to original as possible. Thank you Wendy for your efforts. We do appreciate it and we know that many fellow enthusiasts around the world have enjoyed looking at these images and using them in different ways.
