Tren a Vapor / Steam Train

Primero que todo, algo de historia.
En Sudáfrica hay un tren a vapor (de carbón),
el Outeniqua Choo Tjoe Train ,
(entre las máquinas, un S.A.R. class 24 2-8-4) ,
que aún realiza el trayecto Knysna-George en el Garden Route,
sobre la costa, recorriendo paisajes increíbles,
y tuve la suerte de poder viajar en él.

First of all, a bit of history.
In South Africa there is a steam (coal) train,
the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe Train
(among its locomotives a S.A.R. class 24 2-8-4),
which still does the Knysna-George trip on what is called
The Garden Route,along the coast,
passing through incredibly scenic landscapes,
and I was lucky enough to ride on it.
