Title:
SAR Class 5M Coach (Side A)
Description:
Most Class 5M commuter coaches have two sets of driver controlled sliding doors. The sliding doors on this coach have been modified to run on exterior rails instead of into door cavities in the coach sides. To hide the upper door rails, fascias were added to the full length of the coach roof on both sides. This one is part of the Boland Blitz, a daily commuter between Worcester and Cape Town, and has been modified by having steps and footlights added to facilitate embarking and disembarking at rural stations without platforms.
SAR Class 5M2A, SAR Type L-52-T, Length over headstocks 60'3 5/8" (18.380m), Height 12'0" (3.660m), Width 9'3" (2.820m).
