Vereeniging action

Hi all, Went to Leeuhof yard this weekend. What I found was a verystill Sunday morning. On the diesels side of the depot, 3 class 36 diesels were being prepared for the days shunting, which only included going to Meyerton yard and assembling a 100 wagon empty train for its return to the manganese mines at Hotazel. 4 class 10E locomotives were parked and next to them two class 18Es. No action in the yard this morning, two class 6E1 locomotives were also staged in the yard waiting for a new assignment. The yard were full of cement wagons as always. Also found an old shunter wagon between the rows of scrapped wagons. On my way back near Redan caught two class 35 locomotives heading to Vereeniging which were too fast for my camera, I noticed the last loco was 35-427.N ot sure where they were heading to as they don't use the class 35s at Leeuhof.
