Friends of Atlantic Rail - Part One - 2011 (Low Resolution)

After joining Friends of Atlantic Rail in 2011, I started work on a small filming project about the clubs general day to day operations. Up to that point I had done some rail photography on a smaller scale, but my membership at FoAR exposed me to more regular opportunities. However, what started off as a simple project quickly turned into a massive undertaking that saw me chasing the train more often than actually working on it. As time passed the shortcomings in my equipment started becoming painfully apparent and I grew more critical of the footage. This lead to some new equipment and hopes of redoing many of the scenes. Unfortunately, time had run out and the closure of the Simons's Town line left Atlantic Rail with no other option than to start running to Stellenbosch. Initially, we believed the closure would only be temporary, but as time passed and multiple attempts to reopen the line failed so did the film. There were other considerations too. Times had changed with the arrival of CRC and the club now served both organisations taking on a more business-like approach with the trip preparation being mostly done by paid staff. This was the end of the "build-up" and braai that was a common occurrence at Moment Station in days leading up to an excursion.
