Sightings











Hi guys.

As you can see, the Virginia - Glen Harmony branch is now history, completely uplifted but for a couple of hundred meters at Virginia itself. Quite sad as this now officially closes the chapter on the old Free State
mainline alignment  completely... The scrap metal thieves will soon start removing parts of the two bridges and the sleepers will be smashed to get to the steel re-enforcing.

The 2x 6E's are heading towards  Kroonstad between Hennenman and Holfontein.


The 34 returning "gat eerste" is the Welgelee pick-up at Virginia. She also shunted the ballast siding here. To the right of the train the last bit remaining of the Glen Harmony line can be seen.

The 36 class is leaving Odendaalsrus station with a load of empty ore hoppers to Freddies 1#, this loco is on hire from TFR to RRL.

Cheers.
J & J.
