This postcard shows the locomotive when it was in service with the Cape Government Railway (CGR) as their 5th Class "Karoo" engine no 905. These locomotives were known as the "Karoos", having been designed by H.M. Beatty of the CGR for hauling passenger trains on the easier grades between Beaufort West and De Aar.

During their later years service with the SAR this class became familiar sights on the Strand and Stellenbosch lines - and this explains why one of these engines got plinthed at Strand station.

Saving my crypto funds in a cold wallet did not save me from an attack when hackers gained access to my crypto portfolio. I watched everything I had worked so hard to build disappear in the blink of an eye. It felt so unreal. I had always thought that cold wallets were the safest way to store crypto "naive me".
ReplyDeleteIt took me days to realize what had happened to me. I was under the weather and felt like a walking corpse until Morphohack came to my rescue. They are a well-known data and funds recovery team whose contact information I came across on the dark web.
Morphohack helped me recover everything I thought I had lost. What initially seemed like the end of everything turned out to be a wake up call for me. Morphohack recovered my crypto, helped me secure it better, and taught me other ways to safely protect myself from future attacks.
The Morphohack team was very reliable throughout the recovery process, and I was fortunate to have been able to recover my crypto funds. I’m incredibly grateful that I was able to get back what I thought was gone forever. Morphohack can be contacted via email at Morphohack@cyberservices.com and be rest assured, they can handle any recovery case discreetly and professionally.
