Sightings.

Hi Guys.

First train was at Skoonspruit, the Bothaville pick-up, one petrol tanker
and a runner.

Between Schuttesdraai and Bothaville the Ballast Tamping Machine was busy.
So far it seems the Blue Train is running to Vierfontein on Sunday but we
have not received any YQ's as yet.

E14 109 has finally been removed from Leeudoringstad.

The 18E's are at Harrisburg heading North. Greetings from the crew. This
train was looped for a crossing here, we only got the South bound train at
Makwassie. Today there was an overhead catenary occupation Between
Leeudoringstad and Orkney.

The derailment we mentioned on Monday was just after Daalder on the way to
Eersteling. The line is open with a 30Km/h speed restriction. Plenty of
broken concrete sleepers and pandrol clips. At eersteling a CCR coal wagon
was standing staged, one can clearly see this truck was off the rails. Two
pantographs are also lying in the veld. Operating told us the Blue Train
only left Leeudoringstad at 0600 on Tuesday morning!

The 6E's are standing at Makwassie, staged, pantos down, no crew. The 10E's
are also at Makwassie, this was the train crossing at Harrisburg.

Cheers.
J & J.
