Physically and visually, South African Railways 24-class 2-8-4 No. 3622 complemented its surroundings at Swartylei, Cape Province, South Africa, on July 11, 1983, as she powered a mixed (passenger and freight) train on a cold winter dawn. The mist rising over the Indian Ocean estuary greeted the steam plume exhaust of the locomotive.
