Transnet Heritage Library is the irreplaceable home of our principal source archives which is presided over by Yolanda Meyer.īruno's enlargement of the pass itself also shows a remarkable resemblance to the 1880s survey, illustrating the cleft in the mountains that allows the railway to access the Little Karoo. Nowadays she is ably assisted by DRISA, the brain child of Johannes Haarhoff. Without Yolanda we would not be able to publish our most precious historic material. Bruno is SoAR's cartographer - enough said.
Now that Messrs Rhind and Bates have passed on, Allen is the senior railway researcher among us and you can blame him for any historical howlers. Andrew is the computer fundi who formats SoAR and thus prepares it for sending out to youse. He was also my first bashmate and, armed with our box cameras, we did many many cycling trips to locomotive depots and lineside in the early fifties. He was a lifelong railway enthusiast who concentrated on modelling live steam rather than photography but nevertheless produced many marvellous photographs stretching from 1950 to the end of the steam era.
