Saturday afternoon on the Free State mainline.







Hi Guys.

Well our normally dead line was quite active this afternoon.

I gave my buddy a call and he told me he was on his way back from
Bloemfontein with a load of containers, mielies and fuel. He had worked an
air braked load of containers though this morning. We got him at Whites
where the uplifted leg of the tri-angle to Welkom used to be. Plenty of
hoots.

We noticed the Southbound signals were also green and were duly informed
that the empty car train was on its way. Then we learnt that Fridays
Virginia ballast shunt was staged at Hennenman and was also about to leave
for Kroonstad.

We decided to get both trains at Holfontein. The car train arrived first and
thundered past, next was the pick-up, which also didn't mess around coming
through, friendly greetings from the crews as usual.


Cheers.
J & J.
