New station at Rhodesfield

About 1.5 km from OR Tambo International Airport, the Gautrain line from Sandton crosses over Metrorail's Germiston - Pretoria line at Rhodesfield, between the existing Isando and Kempton Park stations. Gautrain's Rhodesfield station platforms are elevated, directly above Metrorail. PRASA is building a new station next door to the Gautrain facility, which will provide commuters with a transfer point between the Gautrain and Metrorail systems.
On Saturday, 19th September, a Metrorail 5M2A EMU set passes under the Gautrain construction as it heads north towards Kempton Park. Here is another view of the construction, with the new Metrorail platform clearly visible on the right.

Cheers
Eugene
