Professionally photographed and produced locally in the Republic of South Africa by Vidrail, this new program reviews steam locomotion from its inception in the country in the 1800s to present electric and diesel power. Some early steam coverage is via still photos only. Much like the USA, South African railways evolved locally and regionally and had different gauges to start. Over time, organizational and government consolidation circa 1910 resulted in SAR (South African Railways), currently Transnet. Action sequences are both video and archival movie film. This is a comprehensive survey of the history of South African railway operations. Includes some imagery from countries bordering the Republic of South Africa as well. Perfect for the enthusiast who is interested in history as well as runby action. An excellent companion to the book published by VidRail covering the same topic.

Delivery Information
IMPORTANT! The best way to order multiple items is to add them to your cart and then check out ONCE. Instead of ordering an item, checking out then ordering again. Multiple orders placed to the same address will ship COMBINED in one shipment.
ALL US orders ship via USPS 1st Class Mail or USPS Priority Mail*. Normally this takes from 1-3 business days. *Ok, there is one item we sell (a book) that ships via Media Mail as it weighs more than the first class maximum.
Orders received before 3PM PST (and often later) will ship out the same day.
International orders ship via USPS First Class Mail. Delivery times are difficult to estimate and are at the mercy of customs in the country being shipped to. We've had pretty good and fast delivery service to most countries.
Please note that international orders are subject to customs taxes in your country. These are the responsibility of the buyer.
