EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking photograph captures the summit of the Hex River Pass, a historic feat of railway construction in South Africa. The winding railroad tracks cut through the rugged terrain, hugging the edge of the valley as they ascend to the summit. The steam-powered locomotive, a testament to the engineering prowess of the past, makes its way up the mountain, leaving a trail of white smoke in its wake. The panoramic view showcases the vast Southern African landscape, with the winding river snaking through the valley below. The Hex River Pass, a part of the South African Railways network, was a significant achievement in the history of railway construction in Africa. The embankments and tunnels carved through the rocky terrain were a remarkable engineering feat, enabling the efficient transportation of goods and people across the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of railway construction in South Africa, a time when steam-powered locomotives ruled the rails and the wonders of engineering were a source of awe and inspiration.
