This is the interesting story of a group of two-foot gauge railways which helped to open the South West tip of Africa. Some grew up to become broad-gauge lines, the longest, the AVONTUUR, is still in full commercial operation as a narrow-gauge railway, with the magnificent 2-8-2 Class 15 hauling heavy trains over 177 miles of heavily graded route (The Author).
