TALE of THREE TRAINS - A Railfan Chase to watch Shunting Freight Trains. On a very windy day (Jan 27, 2021) two diesel trains left the Bellville (South Africa) Railway depot for Malmesbury and Kalbaskraal. After much shunting along the way, a 3rd joined train returned to the Bellville depot. Hope you enjoy this detailed video about all the action along the way.
