ABOUT THIS EVENT
We start the day bright and early at the ex-South African Railways steam sheds (Rovos Rail Complex) to get sunrise shots while the locomotive is prepared by the crews. We also capture the locomotive moving out of the shed to station.
Once the train is in the platform picking up the passengers, we will make our way to our first spot along the mainline and move in a convoy (though you do not have to strictly follow us).
In preparation of Rovos Rail's Great Train Race, we chase the train from the Rovos Rail complex in Pretoria on its way to where it will stable overnight in preparation for the next day's race. This is a unique chance to photograph a steam train at designated points along the route.
Optionally, you can also join us bright and early the next day to capture the train before departing for Heidelberg and in and around Heidelberg.
** Please Note: This is NOT the same event as a Rovos Rail Experience, we are focusing on chasing the train, rather than climbing aboard **
