Sightings

Hi Guys.

The first train of the day was the return working of the Allanridge / Odendaalsrus pick-up. Here she is behind Spoornet 34 067 heading back towards Kroonstad just before Holfontein.

Then at Hennenman we 34 031 idling in the yard. This was the loco for the Welgelee pick-up. We later got her again at Virginia.

At Virginia 34 031 stood and waited for the TCO. They travel with the train to man the cabin at Welgelee. Virginia is then closed and done by Whites until this train returns. While we were waiting a Northbound load of containers and fuel tankers came past behind filthy E 1495 & orange E xxxx. Also in the consist was dead 35 256 returning to Kroonstad.

We got both Sheltam's 31 classes, the first at their depot in Saaiplaas and the other at the exchange yard with Harmony Surface Rail at old Steyn mine.

One of Harmony's locos was heading from the depot towards the exchange yard.

We missed the return working of the Wesselsbron pick-up between Odendaalsrus and Friedesheim.

Chers.
