Abandoned 33 class diesels

Post by Morne Bothma »

These pics were taken at Worcester diesel depot, these diesels used to tun between Worcester, Mosselbay and Oudtshoorn, 35-512 and 35-501 were still running recently. 35-508 has been in a front smash by the looks of things, if any one knows where and when this happened please let me know.

What steam loco is that in the background, alongside the shed?

Steve, I hope i'm correct. I think these locos where the one that used to be at Dal Josafat, when steam finished there 2 years ago, some moved to cape town station and some to Worcester goods shed.

Only 1 loco, green 25NC 3407 named "Pauline" after Liesel Hagen's mother. Loco in a poor state and degenerating by the day, very sad to see.
