Hi guys.

As you can see from the photos, it's now official, the Virginia- Glen Harmony branch is being uplifted. The rails are heading to Vierfontein for the re-laying to Orkney. Several years ago this line was upgraded and
sleepers changed to concrete, rails were replaced, on asking why we were told "Dis op ons lys...".

We got a southbound train of mielies and petrol tankers at Vetrivier, greetings from the crew.

The staged unit is at Theunissen.

Cheers.
J & J.
