New Metro

[Stefan Andrzejewski]

They must have been testing these Metro's on the line running to the docks under Ysterplaat airforce base.The one line is electrified up to Lagoon Beach. Both lines were electrified into the docks. The 6E's would pick up the container trains and head straight for JHB. The cables were stolen and never repaired. Now Diesels take the containers to Bellville where they shunted on to the 6E's. Probably a half a day wasted. The photo was taken from the Canal Walk Road. The train is just about to cross the N1

Wow, those are so much nicer looking than the tired metro's that I can remember since yonks. Great Pic!
