Considering the locomotive shortage, amazing to see TFR selling locos.

The above picture was taken at Welkom Station, great stuff John & Jacque.
Hi all,
Just spoken to "RRL" at Welkom station & informed that
seven, 35 class diesels have been purchased & are being
overhauled & painted at Transwerk, Bloemfontein. [Dark red,
with their badge at ends & silver "RRL" on sides].
Five are already complete, with one coming to Welkom
early next week. We will make a point to be at the station
to meet this new arrival on the Goldfields railway scene. We
have contacted the "Volksblad" for press coverage.
Numbers, places where they will be stationed, to be obtained
from their Johannesburg HQ.
Also confirmed that the new track from, Friediesheim station
to 5 Shaft, will be completed & handed over, end of the month.
This ore will then be transported to the reduction plant in
Welkom, together with that from the Odendaalsrus mines.
The proposed new line from Allanridge to Loraine mines,
has been shelved till a later date.
John & Jacque.
