Two Beyer Garrett GMAM class climb away from City View at walking pace working a freight from Petermaritsberg to Greytown. To gain hight here at the water stop these two engines are moving at a crawl and have to negotiate two 180 degree curves, this being the first one. When we were there a train left Petermaritsberg every hour on the hour. With one coming down from Greytown, this single line was extremely busy a train would be waiting at every passing loop to continue onwards. In the first picture the front engine is GMAM 4133 working the 11.00 to Greytown. The second picture a panoramic view of the first curve shows GMAM 4113 and GMAM 4168 working the 15.00 to Greytown as they make their way slowly round the curve.
