Hi all.

Had a quick trip to Bloemhof and Kingswood today.

As we arrived at Bloemhof two trains entered the station, Northbound was a long load of CALJ trucks with those orange tarpaulins on them "Lime Acres". This was headed by orange a 6E1and a SAR maroon 6E1, couldn't get the numbers as the other train obscured the locos.

The other train was the pick-up and headed into the silos to clear the mielie trucks there, this was headed by orange E 1359 OFS and SAR maroon 6E1.

Then just other side Grasslands we got a yellow & grey Lennings Rail machine with cabs at both ends, anybody know exactly what this does ????
Also found an intact phone in a yellow box trackside "Maintenance only".

Made a quick turn at RRL again this morning and the friendly staff showed us around the new locos.

Greetings.
John & Jacque.
