Free State sightings



Hi all.

This morning we caught orange 34 030 shunting wood trucks at Friedesheim. Also in the very long consist were two NAY hoppers and a lime truck. After the shunting was completed she headed back to Kroonstad.

Next we paid visit to Hennenman, here we found blue 34 409 shunting a load of mielie trucks also heading for Kroonstad.

Then near Kalkvlakte we found Spoornet maroon 34 067 also on a load of mielies heading North. Soon after this the car train followed Northwards hauled by orange E 1370 and Spoornet maroon E ???? travelling at quite a speed. Near Kalkvlakte we saw parts of the old alignment and remnants of a sand stone bridge.

Lastly we visited Welkom station where we saw all RRL's locomotives standing in the station area, 2x blue 35's and their own 2x orange / red 35's.

Greetings.
John & Jacque.
