Caption - South African Railways (SAR) unidentified class 25 condensing 4-8-4 at De Aar with a passenger train in October 1968. If my memory serves me correctly, the train is about to depart southbound towards Beaufort West and Cape Town. By 1978 most of the condensers had been rebuilt to conventional locos and the class lasted until the end of mainline steam operation.
