Desert Steam
South Africa's "Union Limited" steam rail tours are recognised as being among the Great Railway Journeys of the world. Join us in this fascinating video, as the Union Limited embarks upon a pioneering steam odyssey into the Namib Desert - Southern Africa's vast thirstland of infinite horizons and cloudless skies.
On this 5000-kilometre journey through the desert and across to the Atlantic, you will travel on the first mainline passenger steam train that Namibia has seen in nearly forty years. You will meet the engine crews, the train stewards, the passengers and the sunny indigenous people of Namibia. And above all, you will see steam locomotives in glorious action, plying through the inhospitable wastes of scrub and sand, tackling the dunes and at last, reaching the sea. Take a look behind the scenes at the logistics of running Desert Steam - of finding water, providing fuel and riding the rails through a sea of sand.
Visit the Imperial Germany of the grand colonial years and follow the ghostlv course of her original narrow-gauge desert railway. And enjoy with the passengers the gracious silver service and old-fashioned dignity that, decades ago, was the accepted form of rail travel in colonial Africa.
