Some pictures of Class 34's locos (1995)

[Andreas Umnus]

Here are still some pictures of locos of the class 34 I took when I was for holiday in South Africa in 1995.

The first two pictures are taken at the Gourits Bridge.

A freight train comes from Albertinia heading towards George.

Now I jump to Kroonstadt where I took these pictures of class 34 locos in the depot there.

34 049 stands in the depot of Kroonstad. Behind her stands the 34 062.

34 049 stands next to 34 062 at the depot. Both locos have different paintings.

This is the first time I see class 34 being used on the Worcester - Voorbaai line. I did however see 2 sometime ago being towed dead behind 33's to Worcester, probably for maintenance. Were 34's regularly used in the past on this line?

No Fanie this has been 33 country . The 34's take over from Voorbaai.
