Hi Guys.

Got a load of empty petrol tankers returning to Kroonstad near Virginia, first time behind 4x 6E's.

The Bothaville and Wesselsbron pick-ups were combined at Welkom and staged, time up. This load was still standing here this afternoon minus the diesel.

34 906 was returning with the Bothaville pick-up at Rooiblom / Ancona, hoots from the crew. If you look behind the roof line of the train on the curve shots, you can make out where the now uplifted leg of the tri-angle was.

Protespan saw the Bultfontein pick-up waiting for the spoorbaan to clear out of the way before proceeding.

The ballast tamping machine is busy on the Welkom - Whites section.

Two photos of Harmony Surface Rail at the Gold plant.

Sheltam at Erfdeel 4 shaft loading waste rock.

Some news from the re-laid Westleigh - Orkney line is that the line to the old power station is also to be re-laid. Coal is going to be mined again at the old colliery.

Cheers.
