Free State sightings


Hi all.

Not much to report.

No trains here on the Free State mainline. Only RRL, Sheltam and Harmony. At least there is some activity !

Bloemhof had a couple of mielie trucks. All signals red.

Near Kromellenboog (Rich - pronounce that one !!) we got the staff combi changing drivers on a Southbound load of fine coal. The per-way chaps and grass cutting contractors were busy and there was a temporary speed limit of 30 Km/h. To our surprise we got 3x 18E's up front on this rather short train, leading was Shosholoza Meyl purple E 18 419 and two blue sisters.

We got this train again at Christiana which also had some goods trucks in the yard and silo area but all further signals were red.

Greetings.
J & J.
