Hi all.
Here is a report of the last couple of days.
On Friday morning we caught blue 34 037 shunting at Hennenman station and the silos. Then she headed for Welkom.
Later in the day we caught RRL 35 01 & 35 02 crossing in Welkom station with ore hoppers. A short while after this orange 34 031& Spoornet maroon 34 067, headed through towards Kroonstad with a long load of mielies and one Anhydrous Ammonia tanker at the rear.
Over the weekend it was the normal RRL ore haulage.
Today we caught blue 34 037 just before Wesselsbron. She had a load of mielies and the Weigh Bridge test wagon directly behind the loco. This had come from Losdorings and was now destined for Wesselsbron. At Wesselsbron the driver gave a hoot and flashed his headlight, so we knew it was a familiar driver. Soon we were invited onto the footplate for a couple of shunting movements and back into the station. The Weigh Bridge wagon was dropped off and the train headed to Bultfontein, we headed towards Bloemhof.
At Bloemhof we caught orange E 1185 "CW" and SAR E 1507 still with numberplates - "N" above the numberplate and "K" above the number on the front door. They spent an eternity shunting mielie trucks in and out of the silos. Finally when this was completed they coupled up to a load of AY ballast hoppers and one DZ full of old wooden sleepers and headed North.
Greetings.
J & J.
