Sightings

Hi guys.

The gold mining strike means the ore haulages are non-existent as can be seen by the photos taken at the gold plant. Almost all the hoppers are staged there.

Wesselsbron is where the two 34's are shunting, ready to push back into the silos.

An overhead catenary inspection trolley was standing at Bloemhof under the old goods shed.

The 6E1's are heading South near Grasslands with a load of containers.

Boskuil has now been cleared/cleaned of all the accident debris following the coal train derailment several months back. Some of the damaged wagons are still standing at Makwassie.

The next lot are all at Leeudoringstad within about 45 minutes, not too bad, even with a crossing...

1) A Southbound load of hoppers behind 2x 6E1's, hoots from the crew.
2) Another Southbound load being looped for the crossing.
3) Northbound, plenty of hoots from the crew, they haven't seen me line side
for several months!

31 class at Sheltam's depot.

Cheers.
J & J.
