Susan the Class 12AR locomotive mentioned in a previous post reversing to connect to her waiting train. She is technically not allowed to make black smoke this close to the shunting yard. The grey tower to the left is a water tower used to fill the locomotives' water tanks. From the side it is apparent that Susan's wheels are a bit smaller than some other locomotives' wheels. Susan was initially designed to haul heavy loads of coal from mines to the east of Johannesburg to Johannesburg for further distribution.
