Hi all.
We left Welkom this morning and went past Hennenman. Here we noticed passengers still on the platform, so we knew that the Economy Orange still had not gone past. We gave operating a call and they stated that she was running about a hour late. So we left for Theunissen via Ventersburg and Winburg. We reached Theunissen some time later and again noticed passengers on the platform, also the signal was showing a yellow aspect. As we were turning around the Orange sped past behind 2x orange 6E's, leading was E1472. They headed into the station and we headed to the petrol station.
We left Theunissen and because of road works we could not catch up, we saw the train speeding ahead through Vetriver and she stayed ahead of us until Brandfort. Here we sped past the station and stopped at a level crossing some way out of town. Within a couple of minutes she sped past us with a friendly hoot and wave from the crew.
We then headed to Bultfontein via Soutpan. All the stations and silos along the line were void of traffic. We only saw some FZ's when we reached Losdorings, from here to Bothaville all the silos had mielie trucks but no trains.
We headed back to Welkom and saw blue RRL hire 35 class heading to Welkom from Odendaalsrus.
Greetings.
John & Jacque.
