Trans Orange.

Hi guys.

On the 1st of October 2012 the Trans Orange started running again. Last week she was on time, today, she started at 4 hours late arriving at Kroonstad, Control Point 1, Gunhill yard. (IMG0340a,0341,0348).

While waiting for her the Algoa arrived - she was running 6 hours late!

After the turn around at Kroonstad station, we set chase and caught up with the South bound Orange at Holfontein (0351), now she was 5 hours late. The driver was trying to make up time and she sped past at an incredible pace.

Finally just after Whites we got her again, only a blur as she flashed by (0367).

We missed two goods trains because of the TCO at Kroonstad, this guy could only tell us: "I don't know..."

Cheers.
J & J.
