Hi there all, Spent Sunday morning at Bijlkor yard as well as Leeuhof yard. Bijlkor yard was packed with traffic. Lots of lime wagons and steel carriers and coal and ore wagons both loaded and empties. 3 class 38 locomotives were preparing to leave the yard with a train of empty coal wagons returning to Saaiplaas. This yard also receives about 2 full 100 wagon ore trains a day. Leeuhof yard not too busy, a class 36 were busy shunting crm wagons in and out of the workshops. Also found a Kumba iron ore diesel locomotive parked at the diesel depot, just before I left three 6E's left the yard with a train of empty steel carrier wagons heading to the Potch side. A class 18E also left the depot heading to the Bijlkor yard. Leeuhof depot also received a lot of Kroonstad drivers and train assistants. Spoke to one train assistant and he informed me that there is not enough work at Kroonstad for all of them. There is a rumour that they are busy with ore train testing on the Kroonstad to Ladysmith line. Does anyone know any more about this?
Regards
Logan Stone
