Sightings 3












Hi guys.

RRL's 31 class heading towards Odendaalsrus, seen here near Friedesheim.

We were told that 3x EXXARO locomotives from RRL were heading down to Port Elizabeth to be shipped onwards to the DRC. These diesels left Pretoria on Wednesday morning and due to Transnet pilot problems only reached Kroonstad around midnight. They were supposed to get to Kroonstad at around 1700 and
continue, thus we would have missed them.  We caught them today heading towards Bloemfontein near Kalkvlakte, EXX-3004/5/6. At Bloem, again there were no pilots so it seems the journey is going to be a long one...

At Whites the pick-up from the branch was waiting for the car train to proceed to Kroonstad. At Virginia the stolen handrails are being replaced over the Sand River bridge, hence the wrong road working of the car train.

Cheers.
J & J.
