It is sad to see all the unused railway infrastructure around Port Elizabeth either on the harbour, around Humewood or next to the Settlers Freeway. After a lunchtime event at This is Eat on the harbour I grabbed the camera for a couple of photos before heading back to the office.
Great photos. I suppose this old train deserves its retirement!
We all reach this point sooner or later. Just hope I still look this good -:)
What has happened to the SA rail infrastructure is one of the saddest things I’ve seen. It is an efficient and economical way of transporting both good and people – and the infrastructure was there! Miles and miles of track that now seem to be fallign into disuse. In Feb we drove from PE to Cape Town and back, seeing miles and miles of track alongside or near the N2… but in 16+ hours of driving we did not see a single train.Lovely pictures 🙂
I find it sad to see old stations go.
