Hi all.
The reason we've been so quiet is that we don't have anything to report. We still have our trips all over but no trains...
On Friday we got orange 34 028 and Spoornet maroon 34 453 shunting at Losdorings. The instant driver did some complicated shunting moves to get her train back together ! We would have done the same shunt with 2 movements !! After an eternity of shunting they left for Kroonstad with a very long load of mielies. The 2x 34's really straining to get the load moving. From there all the stations we visited had plenty of maize traffic but no movement.
On Saturday we found the Ballast tamping machine standing in Virginia station, again no trains. The old clerestory coach at Virginia has now been jacked up and one of the bogies has been removed ??
Today we ventured to Bloemhof and to Kingswood. At Kingswood we noticed the Northbound signals were green. There still is an intact telephone in it's yellow box on the platform. Soon the Northbound Tourist Trans Karoo headed through at an incredible speed, basically just a blur. This was behind orange E 1450.
We have heard a rumour of a Premier classe to the Kruger National Park?
Greetings.
John & Jacque.
