EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historical Tunnel on Waterval Boven Road in Transvaal, South Africa, circa 1930. Originally built as a cog and rack railway tunnel to facilitate the transportation of goods and people up the steep terrain, this architectural marvel later made way for motorized vehicles. The tunnel's narrow, stone archway, with its distinctive keystone detailing, stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of the past. The image portrays a southward view of the tunnel, with lush grass and vegetation growing around it, adding to its picturesque charm. A lone lorry, its tires barely fitting through the archway, makes its way through the tunnel, emphasizing the narrowness of the passage. The vehicle's headlights pierce through the darkness, revealing the intricate stonework and the sense of history that lies within. As the Transvaal region evolved into the modern-day Mpumalanga province, this tunnel continued to serve as a vital transportation link. However, with the advancement of technology and infrastructure, it eventually became a historical monument, preserving the legacy of the 1930s transportation era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when engineering marvels like the Waterval Boven Tunnel played a crucial role in connecting communities and shaping the landscape of South Africa.
