Streaks of Rust Across the Veld - The Demise of the Branch Lines

Post by Steve Appleton »

"Streaks of Rust Across the Veld - The Demise of the Branch Lines".
"This installment of the History of Southern African Railways series by Peter Ball looks at the demise of the branch line network and will be relevant to many in the heritage community. Over the last few decades many lines have been closed and the heritage assets associated with them have fallen into disrepair. We certainly hope that Transnet's strategy to revitalise the branch line network will go some way in turning this situation around."
