steam crane Witbank

Post by Dylan Knott »

Does anyone know if the Cowans Sheldon steam cranes are still preserved / stored at the following locations?

Witbank - number unknown but there is a photo of it on http://www.sa-transport.co.za
Ocean Terminal Building Durban - was on display outside shop 17. Number unknown.
Koedoespoort - stored #81.

Whilst on the subject of Witbank does anyone know if those old steam locos are still stored there?
Photos?

Cheers

Dylan

There are definitely a few old steam locos still at Witbank - we were stabled in the shed there for two nights at the end of August 2007 and could see them. I didn't go over and have a look - hopefully others can tell you which ones are there and give you more details.
