<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The railway
was originally described in detail in Sydney Moir's seminal book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twenty-four Inches Apart</i> (Oakwood Press
in 1963). More recently the story has been covered in eight parts of the
authors' <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Soul of a Railway</i> (SOAR) series
published online and it is this material which forms the basis of this new
book.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This 265
page hardback book printed on high quality paper brings the story up to date
and focuses on new, fascinating and compelling information about the railway,
particularly the political shenanigans that plagued its turbulent latter years.
These are recounted by the author (Charlie Lewis), the Regional Engineer
responsible for the line from 1981 to 1986 and also one of South Africa's most
prolific photographers. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The SOAR
material has been edited by John Hunt, Dick Manton and John Middleton who have
all spent a lot of time in South Africa and visited the line on many occasions.
The text is complimented by a wide selection of over 350 photographs, many in
colour and previously unpublished, with contributions from many of the world's
leading railway photographers. The authors believe this new book will form THE
definitive record of the Railway in its latter years.</span></p>

They are in the process of refurbishing the train. The steam train from Cape Town station will take tourists into the Ceres valley over weekends. The first locomotive and some seven coaches will be completed soon. The picturesque Ceres valley is not only the origin of the best of South Africa's fruit and wine products, but also one of the top tourism destinations in the country.<br />

VOORBAAI © Andre Somers: Friday morning 16 Oct: Jessica being hauled back to the Loco shed at Voorbaai. In the morning the locomotive suffered a setback with the oil (that being of poor quality) and as a result poor steaming quality. The necessary repairs was completed at Voorbaai after which the train would again attempt the transfer on Saturday 17 Oct.<br />

I appologise for the silence and I send this on behalf of the Admin. We had to wait for the confirmation from Transnet.This morning the locomotive suffered a setback with the oil (that being of poor quality) and as a result poor steaming quality. The necessary repairs have been completed and with Transnet's permission we now can perform the transfer tomorrow, Saturday 17 October 2015. She will be departing from Voorbaai at 06:00 and will overnight at Robertson. It will follow the YQ pattern with the exception of departing a hour later from Voorbaai. </i><br />

VIDEO 19D 3321: Voorbaai to Swellendam 17 Oct 2015 by Matt Raubenheimer: <i>"Here is a compilation of footage shot between Voorbaai and Swellendam during 3321's epic journey to Ceres. It was such a pleasure to chase this train. I'm so used to being on the train myself, this was a rare opportunity to get some nice shots and as a bonus it was on a line on which I've never witnessed steam operations before. Hope you enjoy" </i> <br />

ROBERTSON © Andre Somers: Because 3321 fuel level was heading for empty, it was prudent to have a class 35 pilot the train to Worcester, where diesel was taken in, and eventually to Class 35 took the train to Wolseley from where steam took over again ...<br />

<span class="kindofstory">1 September 2015 </span><br />
<span class="kindofstory">press release</span> <cite class="byline">By James Vos</cite><br />
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="12"><br />
</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="12">I am pleased to announce two exciting rail transport projects in Witzenberg:</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="30"><br />
</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="30">The first is the activation of a commercial freight transportation train connection from Cape Town to Wolseley, Ceres and Prince Alfred Hamlet, that would carry fruit and other agricultural products.</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="65"><br />
</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="65">The second is a steam train from Cape Town station that will take tourists into the Ceres valley over weekends.<br />
<br />
Ceres Rail Company bought <i>the coaches of the former Transnet Heritage Fund's Union Limited Steam Railtours* operation</i> together with three steam locomotives. They are in the process of refurbishing the train. The first locomotive and some seven coaches will be completed soon and the service will commence in October. [* correction to the text of the original press release]</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="30"><br />
The picturesque Ceres valley is not only the origin of the best of South Africa's fruit and wine products, but also one of the top tourism destinations in the country.</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="17"><br />
</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="17">These new services are a collaboration between the Ceres Rail Company, Transnet and the Municipality of Witzenberg.</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="48"><br />
</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="48">This is evidence of the Witzenberg Municipality, under the DA, delivering tourism opportunities to the local community and will grow more tourism jobs. Not only will it make a substantial contribution to the economy, but it will also give the tourism industry in the area a tremendous boost.</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="42"><br />
</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="42">The development and expansion in rail transport, paves the way for jobs and economic growth. Efficient and effective freight rail transportation reduces the number of trucks on the roads, decreasing emissions and fuel costs, improves safety and make our communities more livable.</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="55"><br />
</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="55">In the 1990's Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) stopped operating so-called branch lines (such as the ones above) because they were either "non-core" or simply not profitable. However, because branch lines are a vital link with the rural areas, partnerships between public and private enterprise are now exploring the re-commissioning of some of these branch lines.</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="32"><br />
</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="32">The DA is pleased that the negotiation and cooperation in Witzenberg is now bearing fruit and we believe that these services can be the precursor for similar projects elsewhere in the province</div><div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="2"><br />

<b>The following text will only be understood by readers whom can read the Afrikaans language. It is an article in Afrikaans which appeared in a local newspaper in Mossel Bay and gives some interesting background :</b><br />
<br />
<div><div class="Left_Content_Header"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Stoomtrein loop na meer as dekade</span></b></div></div><div><br />
MOSSELBAAI NUUS - Dis nie aldag wat 'n mens die geleentheid kry om die ouwêreldse romantiek van die stoomtrein-era te herleef nie. </div><div></div><div><br />
Vir 'n handjievol Mosselbaaiers het dit egter 'n sonderlinge avontuur opgelewer toe hulle verlede Saterdag met 'n Klas 19 D-stoomlokomotief, wat meer as 'n dekade laas in gebruik was, vanaf Mosselbaai na Ceres gereis het. </div><div></div><div><br />
Volgens inligting, is die Klas 19 D-stoomlokomotief, van die eerstes wat van steenkool oorgeskakel het na die gebruik van olie. Sy is jarelank in beide Suid-Afrika en ook Namibië gebruik, voordat sy 'n laaste rusplek in die sogenaamde lokomotief begraafplaas in Voorbaai gekry het. </div><div></div><div><br />
Gelukkig vir haar, het die ondernemingsgees van 'n toegewyde stoomtreinentoesias en sakeman, Derick du Toit, haar lot om te staan en oproes intussen verander. Du Toit, wat sake-belange in beide Kaapstad en Ceres het, is tans besig met die ontwikkeling van 'n gholflandgoed op laasgenoemde dorp. </div><div></div><div><br />
'n Klein stasie, Demeter, sowat 5km buite Ceres is deel van sy eiendom, wat in die afsienbare toekoms, glo verder ontwikkel en gerestoureer sal word. Dit is hier waar die Klas 19 D, asook twee ander stoomlokomotiewe opgeknap en 'n waardige nuwe tuiste sal vind. </div><div></div><div><br />
Dit is ook in die beplanning dat die Klas 19 D-lokomotief voortaan op die Ceres-Kaapstad-lyn gebruik sal word om lede van die publiek, asook toeriste vanaf Kaapstad na Ceres te vervoer. </div><div></div><div><br />
<b>'n Onvergeetlike belewenis </b></div><div><br />
Chris (Bossie) Boshoff van Mosselbaai en geswore stoomtreinentoesias, was deel van die 11, insluitend die werkspan en passasiers, wat verlede Saterdag 17 Oktober die Klas 19 D-lokomotief op haar reis na Ceres vergesel het. </div><div></div><div><br />
"Ek het stoom ingeasem toe ek baie klein was," skerts hy. </div><div></div><div><br />
Hoewel die lokomotief voortaan deur die maatskappy Ceres Railway Company (CRC) bedryf sal word, was 'n spesialis drywer en stoker uit Kaapstad, verbonde aan Atlantic Rail, tydens die naweek se reis aan die stuur van sake. </div><div></div><div><br />
Derick du Toit het ook 'n ou eetwa aangekoop wat in Voorbaai aangehaak is en waarin die paar passasiers kon saamry. Boshoff het 'n paar vriende en hul vroue genooi om saam te ry en hulle het sommer self die eetwa skoongemaak vir die ekspedisie. </div><div></div><div><br />
Die aanvanklike vertrekdatum was die Vrydag om 06:00, maar die lokomotief moes noodge-dwonge terugdraai na die Voorbaai-stasie vanweë probleme met die brander wat eers herstel moes word. Saterdagoggend was alles weer klopdisselboom en het die Klas 19 D omstreeks 06:00 met haar vrag, weer uit Voorbaai vertrek. </div><div></div><div><br />
"Dit het maar stadig gegaan, want die lokomotief was 11 jaar laas in gebruik, maar die ontvangs en belangstelling op pad, soos ons van klein stasie na stasie gery het was ongelooflik," vertel Boshoff. </div><div></div><div><br />
Hy noem dat algemene instandhouding, soos die spuit van onkruiddoders wat nie meer gedoen word nie, die trein se tog oor die spore bemoeilik het. Hulle moes ook op verskillende plekke aandoen vir water en olie en ook hierin was ondersteuning vanuit die gemeenskap noemenswaardig. </div><div></div><div><br />
"Vanie Oosthuizen van Albertinia Meubelvervoer en Raadslid Charles Prins van Albertinia het vir ons water vir die lokomotief verskaf, asook Tinus van der Merwe van TVM Konstruksie in Swellendam, het weer vir die water op Buffelsjagrivier gesorg. Om nie eens te praat van elke privaat persoon en instansie wat 'n bydrae gelewer het met die ou motorolie wat ons benodig het nie." </div><div></div><div><br />
Die Klas 19 D met haar vrag, het na 'n lang, stadige reis en 'n kort oorstaan op Robertson, uiteindelik omstreeks 13:00 op Sondag 18 Oktober by Demeter-stasie aangekom. </div><div></div><div><br />
Die stasie Demeter, is vernoem na die gelyknamige Griekse godin van die oes. </div><br />

ALL of the following images, <i>unless otherwise indicated</i>, are <b>© Andre Somers.</b><br />
<br />
Andre has the good fortune of having his workplace near the Voorbaai loco shed, and often made brief visits to follow the progress of the restoration done on 3321. In this way he managed to capture an unique series of images of the restoration process. All the images here have been posted by Andre on his facebook page. <br />

(May 9, 2014 at 8:38am): Afraid I do not know if this was the Esperanza system. I knew nothing about it until I arrived there to look at the SAR 2ft line. The notes of my visit of 11 Sept 1968 tell me the sugar line paralleled the SAR line for part of the way between Umzinto and Nkwifa. The sugar tramway had a loco shed not far from Umzinto with a number of green four-coupled tank locomotives. On the following day I walked along the tramway for four miles and found a zig-zag. Would have walked further but had to walk back. I do have more slides, all of which need work in PhotoShop to restore colour balance and contrast. I still have no documentation on the system apart from what I wrote at the time, and no map.<br />
<br />
(May 9, 2014 at 9:41am): Yes it was the Esperanza system! I am in the process of typing the notes I made at that time, and they say "Thursday 12th Sept 1968. Walked down the sugar tramway which runs past my hotel to the Esperanza sugar mill, a distance of about 1-1/4 miles, arrived at the mill at about 8.45, to find only one loco at work, the rest were out.

This image from the family album of Warren Taylor. This is No 7. Warren notes: "As a young boy living at Illovo in 1958 where my family were
involved in the sugar mill, I was fortunate enough to go for a ride on
this loco (7 or 8) from Illovo up to Eston (~50km) and back again. I
shall never forget that experience."<br />
<br />
Illovo had 2 of these 4 cylinder British Heislers - both
built in 1939. Apparently these 2 engines did service until the early
60's when they gave way to diesels. <br />

The Vierfontein Colliery Ltd 0-6-0T loco here, again with my 13-year old son.<br />
<b>John Middleton</b> commented: this is the old Hawthorn Leslie of 1906 (I am travelling so can't
put my finger on the works no at this stage). The Vierfontein colliery supplied the
adjacent ESCOM station
and after the HL ceased operating about 1980, ESCOM's loco did any
shunting (which was only stores traffic). ESCOM had STEPHENSON their RSH
0-4-0ST here, later a diesel. I only found this loco quite a few years
after I came to SA and it had been missed by most
enthusiasts being off the beaten track. The HL had an interesting
history serving at quite a few collieries. It was new to SA Coal Estates
in Witbank. It was sadly scrapped. </td></tr>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;"><b>JOHN MIDDLETON</b> commented as follows: Thanks
for the interesting photograph. This loco was built as Springs Mines
No. 4 and was WB 2575 of 1936, Springs Mines operated the surface system
at SALLIES
until 1962 when it was taken over by SALLIES and the loco became
SALLIES No. 4 (later being renumbered No.1 when the original No. 1 – WB
1977/13 a 2-6-2T was withdrawn in March 1963.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">My
notes show that it was recorded at SALLIES OOU in 1/74 and had gone by
August 1974, it certainly didn’t run again after the photo was taken
having been
withdrawn before the end of 1972. I think the photo was likely taken at
SALLIES not GVPM, I have no record that any of these locos went to
GVPM.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">This
loco and No. 2 (which was originally Springs Mines No.2) were identical
16x24 locos. There were also two WB 0-8-0T Nos 3 and 5 (WB 2534 and
2535 of 1935).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">There
was a third SALLIES No. 1 – NBL 25900/46 a standard NBL 4-8-2T which
arrived secondhand at the end of 1973 and was sold to Cornelia Colliery
when SALLIES
closed.</span></td></tr>

<br />
A total of 137 locomotives of this type were built of which Witbank Colliery No. 1 is the last survivor in original condition.<br />
<br />
Rail traffic on the Natal Government Railways was increasing rapidly in the 1890s and G.W. Reid, their Locomotive Superintendent identified the need for a locomotive that could haul at least 50% more than a Dübs A class 4-8-2T. Because of the great size of the proposed 4-10-2T locomotive (for that era) a prototype was delivered in 1899 from Dübs of Glasgow, Scotland. It was subsequently deemed successful and a further 100 locomotives followed from Dübs between 1900 and 1903. The last four of the order were completed by the North British Locomotive Company which absorbed Dübs in 1903. <br />

<br />
They were Natal Government Railway Class C becoming South African Railways Class H in 1912.<br />
<br />
During the Anglo-Boer War the Imperial Military Railways urgently required new locomotives and ordered a further 35 “Reid Tenwheelers” being a proven design. These were manufactured by Neilson, Reid & Co, also in Glasgow and later became South African Railways Class H1.<br />
<br />
Although successful in service they were rapidly replaced by more advanced<br />
locomotives and the vast majority of the Class H were rebuilt as 4-8-2T for shunting (South African Railways Class H2). The H1’s where rebuilt more radically to Class 13 4-8-0 tender engines, using redundant 6-wheel tenders from older locomotives. The few not rebuilt were scrapped before 1910.<br />
<br />
In 2014 four Class H2 (but no Class 13) locomotives survive including one in the<br />
National Collection in the Outeniqua Railway Museum at George. The last locomotive in service in 4-10-2T form was in the early 1920s. <br />
<br />
However, one further “Reid Tenwheeler” was to be built several years after they had ended service on the main line. The Witbank Colliery Co Ltd had operated a coal mine since 1896 in Witbank (today eMalahleni) in Mpumalanga.<br />
<br />
In 1928 the company opened a new “South Section” and required a large locomotive to haul coal to the exchange sidings at Witbank station, a distance of about 4 kilometers.<br />

An order was placed with the North British Locomotive Co in Glasgow for the 137th and final “Reid Tenwheeler”. It was delivered as North British No. 23722 of 1928, painted blue with white lining and lettered “WITBANK COLLIERY LTD No. 1” on the side tanks. It received a new boiler from North British in July 1938, but the reason why the original lasted only 10 years is unknown. <br />

However, with its new boiler it continued in service hauling coal for another 25 years until it was last steamed in March 1963. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Locomotive Status in Recent Years</span><br />
<br />
The South African National Railway and steam museum (SANRASM) had a long and rich history which sadly ended in tragedy after almost the entire collection was lost through bad management, lack of vision and the tough situation that all preservation groups experience in South Africa namely the increasing demand for non – ferrous material in particular for “scrap”.<br />
<br />
This is an entire article on its own and I will not go into this now as the focus remains on the H class locomotive!<br />
<br />
SANRASM partnered with Reefsteamers a few years ago as Transnet would no longer supply them with diesel traction and coaches for their Magaliesburg Express trains which became their only source of income after their trains stopped running from their site on the outskirts of Krugersdorp. Reefsteamers provided the trains with an added bonus of the trains being steam hauled. This partnership worked well for some time until the plundering of the organizations assets became public knowledge about four years ago.<br />
<br />
Reefsteamers became involved for obvious reasons to assist in moving and storing what could be saved as did the Sandstone Heritage Trust. The process of actually moving the assets was somewhat held up until recently for a number of reasons that I will also not develop now!<br />
<br />
I made a personal proposal to assist the remaining exco of SANRASM who wanted to see the items saved but did not have the knowledge or resources to relocate the very few locomotives and coaches remaining to Reefsteamers. The project was planned and initiated taking seven weeks to complete. Ten coaches where moved and saved as well as seven locomotives counting the H class. Some other smaller items where salvaged for other preservation groups. The site is now nothing more than a flat, tidy barren piece of ground!<br />
<br />
The H class was identified to be cut up because of the logistics and cost to move it, but after some thought while working on the project I decided to request the locomotive for the RSME. This way it would be saved and kept safe as the only surviving H class in its original condition with the exception of the front bogie that was missing, but luckily it turned up under a heap of “scrap” on site. The four axle boxes had been stolen so it was quite a task getting the bogie back under the locomotive.<br />
<br />
The next step was to get 60 pound rail and steel sleepers to the RSME and Patrick Ackerman senior and junior with the help of Daniel and a few other folk assisted in levelling the ground. Pat ordered a truck load of 19mm stone and put this over the rail panel once built and levelled it off. This created a plinth rail for the locomotive to stand on.<br />

The locomotive was moved to the RSME using a 80 ton low bed vehicle on Friday the 27th June 2014 and unloaded on Sunday the 29th June with the help of Transcor and Chimes Cranes. The professional team under my guidance rigged the locomotive and lifted it off the low bed and onto the plinth rail where it now stands.<br />
<br />
The locomotive still needs to be jacked up about four inches on the front end to enable packing blocks to be fitted under the bogie axles as the axle boxes are missing. This will level off the locomotive.<br />
<br />
A replica NGR (Natal Government Railways) style head lamp will be fitted.<br />
<br />
Plans are in place to have the locomotive sand blasted and undercoated by a<br />
professional entity and the top coat will be put on by us once this has been done.<br />
<br />
It will be painted in its original blue colour but with yellow stripes representing the RSME colours. The RSME emblem and name will go on both side tanks and eventually the cab will be caged in to keep out unwanted nocturnal inhabitants and a small palisade fence and plaque will be put up for the locomotive to ensure the public can be kept informed on the locomotive while also improving security.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />After cosmetic restoration at the Umgeni Steam Railway in South Africa, our Dubs ‘A’ Class 4-8-2 Tank No 196 was ready to return to the UK. Just £15,000 was needed to cover final repainting and shipping costs to bring this historic, 109 years old, Glasgow built steam locomotive from Durban to a new home that is currently (in 2011) being prepared for her at the Mizens Railway near Woking.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW5gZHiPeFl5RwR6jPkNdhcpv7EhtpTUM2B0teu3Ek-uYJi39l0E1FKQLGdi_Uvb9Dy_RRo2n_65g81aKFXF_9BOgWYiPe-nSCSKpLNL8rL8V5DlgjkAR4aKghi_v3GUzWW9SP3PsmzgI/s1600/Dubs_-_Masons_Mill+(Pietermaritzberg)%2Bon%2B10%2BDec%2B2010%2Bphoto%2BSAR%2BConnecta%2Bon%2Bwikipedia.jpg"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW5gZHiPeFl5RwR6jPkNdhcpv7EhtpTUM2B0teu3Ek-uYJi39l0E1FKQLGdi_Uvb9Dy_RRo2n_65g81aKFXF_9BOgWYiPe-nSCSKpLNL8rL8V5DlgjkAR4aKghi_v3GUzWW9SP3PsmzgI/s1600/Dubs_-_Masons_Mill+(Pietermaritzberg)%252Bon%252B10%252BDec%252B2010%252Bphoto%252BSAR%252BConnecta%252Bon%252Bwikipedia.jpg&container=blogger&gadget=a&rewriteMime=image%2F*" width="640" /></a><br />On 10 Dec 2010 <i>Charles Baker</i> made this image of No 196 at Mason's Mill in Pietermaritzburg (South Africa).

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Class A 196 (4-8-2T) ex NGR 133 photo Charles Baker 10 Dec 2010 Masons Mill Pietermaritzburg. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">100 of the ‘A’ Class Tanks were built
at Dubs’ Glasgow Locomotive Works for the Natal Government Railways
between 1888 and 1900 and they were the first engines in the World to<br />utilise
the 4-8-2T wheel arrangement. Their great success paved the way for
many larger and much more powerful locomotives using the ‘Mountain’
configuration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />Built in
1899 (according to new research by Reg Carter - previously it was thought the locomotive dates from 1900) by Dübs works no 3819 she started life as NGR No. 133; after 1910
she became No. 196 on the SAR and spent many years slogging it out on
the 1 in 30 gradients through the mountains of Natal.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Over time many of the "A" Class tanks were fitted with Belpaire fireboxes by the NGR and the SAR - at the same time the open cab was also improved to give better protection for the engine crew. These "Improved Dübs A", of which SAR no 196 was a member, proved to be very successful in operation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">By
1962 the SAR had withdrawn the last of the Class A locomotives from
service. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class=" meta-field photo-desc ">No. 196 spent far longer in industrial service
than she did working on the main line as a change in SAR locomotive
policy saw her sold to Daggafontein Mines as early as 1933. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pressed into industrial service, No 196 found new life
as No 1 at the Springs Daggafontein Gold Mines near the town of Springs. </span><br />

I have received a confirmation e:mail from Andy Anderson, Commercial
Manager of the Umgeni Steam Railway, that No. 196 is safely on site
and stored undercover at Masons Mill Loco Shed. In return for the
Umgeni’s assistance, we have agreed to make a token donation
of £5 per week (R300 per month) towards the restoration of
their own NBL (and Dubs) steam locomotives. All movement costs and
the first 6 month’s donations have now been paid and we are
putting some cash together towards preliminary restoration work
and the casting of new numberplates etc.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
We fully appreciate that the progress with this loco to date has
only been made possible by our NBLPG membership so we would like
all those who have who have kindly donated to the Dubs Tank Fund
to take part in a vote to decide which livery the loco will initially
carry. Mr. Reg Carter, the Librarian of the Stephenson Locomotive
Society has kindly supplied a great deal of information about the
early days of the Dubs Tanks on the Natal Government Railways and,
coupled with what we already knew from later years, we have a choice
of at least 4 authentic liveries that the loco has carried during
her 107 years of existence !</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Separate from this Newsletter, all ‘A’ Class Fund donors
will receive a voting slip illustrating the various livery options
we are considering and we would like this completed and returned
by the end of May so a decision can be made in time for the next
newsletter. I’m sure there will be much debate to follow and
one of the main decisions will be whether to cast the new plates
as South African Railways No. 196 or as Natal Government Railways
No. 133. If you have not already contributed towards the Dubs Tank
Fund and would like to vote, it’s not too late – please
forward a donation and you will receive a voting slip by return
of post ! </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Two of the most interesting facts turned up by Reg Carter include
the original Dubs works builders date of 1899 (we have always thought
that the engine was built in 1900) and comprehensive notes regarding
the NGR dark green livery and lining details. Our loco emerged from
Glasgow Works at the same time as Dubs were constructing large batches
standard British 0-6-0’s for the Highland, Caledonian and
Midland Railways – what an amazing design contrast it must
have provided at the time !</span></div>

<i>Jimm Yarrow</i> recently provided an image of this 4-6-2+2-6-4 Garratt locomotive, SAR Class GF No. 2380, when in the early 80's, it was plinthed in front of the Frankfort railway station.<br />
<br />
This locomotive was built in 1927 by Hanomag as their works no 10522.<br />
<br />
According to Paxton & Bourne, the SAR GF class was designed for working both passenger and goods trains on branch lines. The initial order for 37 locomotives in this Class was executed in 1927 by the German firm Hanomag, which followed with a 2nd batch of 18 engines in 1928. A third order for 10 locomotive was fulfilled by Maffei later in 1928. At the time this was the most numerous locomotive in any SAR Garratt class, until the Class GMA/M engines appeared on the scene.<br />
<br />
Superheated, these engines have bar frames and use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walschaerts_valve_gear">Walschaert's</a> valve gear. These useful engines saw service on many lines in Natal, the Transvaal, Free State and Eastern Cape before the last one was withdrawn by 1979.<br />
<br />
The good news is that No. 2380 was taken off the plinth, and re-steamed
again to haul charter trains around the start of the new millennium.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihS_Tv0cPro0wiKYhyzdVYPatAamGtKEhg3DK6KIZ-otroq-8Iy9MkrVSaUsbCee2IWbt1USidu1dbQOUvC1YFMSavrJ15H9UIosudFQGdxym8M2zQv72e6LxUdS2HZkXVj4GEwEpI7TE/s1600/Class+Garratt+GF+'Billy'+No.2380+Steam+Locomotive+at+the+Albert+Falls+Siding+-+16.12.2004+(c)%2BMichael%2BCookson%2Bh768.jpg"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihS_Tv0cPro0wiKYhyzdVYPatAamGtKEhg3DK6KIZ-otroq-8Iy9MkrVSaUsbCee2IWbt1USidu1dbQOUvC1YFMSavrJ15H9UIosudFQGdxym8M2zQv72e6LxUdS2HZkXVj4GEwEpI7TE/s1600/Class+Garratt+GF+'Billy'%2BNo.2380%2BSteam%2BLocomotive%2Bat%2Bthe%2BAlbert%2BFalls%2BSiding%2B-%2B16.12.2004%2B(c)%252BMichael%252BCookson%252Bh768.jpg&container=blogger&gadget=a&rewriteMime=image%2F*" width="640" /></a>Image above: Class Garratt GF 'Billy' No. 2380 Steam Locomotive at the Albert Falls Siding while doing a steam special on a South African public holiday - 16.12.2004 Photo: (c) <i>Michael Cookson</i> as published on <a href="http://www.panoramio.com/photo/14386448">Panoramio</a>.<br />

June, 1996: It's a long time since a genuine "stimela" (steam train or steam loco) has passed this way and Umgeni Steam Railway's GF No 2380 really attracts interest as she passes through typical rural countryside, dotted with huts.

These 1973 images taken by <i>Roger Griffiths</i>, show SAR 6J No 645 on the plinth before she was re-steamed. Later she was taken up in the Museum collection at George. You can see here in the museum in <a href="http://steam-locomotives-south-africa.blogspot.co.za/2007/11/visit-to-outeniqua-transport-museum-14.html">this entry</a>.<br />
<br />
#645 class 6J - <span style="font-style: italic;">Engine 645 was
stationed at De Aar between 1958 and 1967 and was later mounted on
Kimberley platform as a monument. She was still later, removed from the
platform and restored to working order by the THF for use on enthusiast
specials. She is now housed in the OTM at George. [Source: 23 May

The
most successful bar-framed 6th class, were the 14 locos supplied in
1902 by Neilson, Reid & Co. Used initially on the Cape main line,
they became the Class 6J on the SAR.<br />
<br />
Placed in service in 1902,
these 4-6-0 engines have a tractive effort of 18,780 lbs at 75% boiler
pressure, which is 180 psi. Wheel arrangement, as on the other class 6s,
is 4-6-0. Driving wheels are 4' 6" in diameter, and the cylinders
measure 17"x 26". Valve-gear is Stephenson. Engine and tender are 53
feet long over the buffer faces, and together they weigh 82 tons 19 cwt.
Total heating surface is 1,172.6 square feet, and the fire-grate area
18.75 square feet.<br />
<br />
The last engine of this type was withdrawn from service in Bethlehem in 1972.<br />

<h3>
Zambezi Sawmills Railways (ZSR) </h3>
<b>[A brief history with focus on ex-SAR (South African Railways) engines]</b><br />
<br />
The Zambezi Sawmills company was founded in 1916 to exploit forests of Rhodesian Teak on the north bank of the Zambezi above Livingstone. <br />
<br />
Zambezi Sawmills comprised the partnership entity of Messrs Tombous, Salisbury (presently Harare) and Jacobs Limited, Messrs A. F. Philips and Company (Bulawayo) and W. E. Tongue (Southern Rhodesia).<br />
<br />
The timber is hard and strong and termite-resistant and found a ready market as railway sleepers, parquet floors and door and window frames in all parts of Britain’s Rhodesian colonies (including what is now Zimbabwe). <br />
<br />
Initially the timber was dragged to the river by oxen and transported by river barge downstream to a point near Livingstone from where it was hauled the few kilometres to the town in wagons running on wooden rails drawn by traction engines modified so that the front wheels ran on the tracks and the large power wheels ran outside them.<br />
<br />
In 1917 Zambezi Saw Mills installed new machinery in Mapanda Forest, 48 km west of Livingstone. <br />
By the early 1920s the forests near the river were used up. The teak forests extended three hundred kilometres north-west and a 3 feet 6 inches railway was then constructed into the forests from around 1924 onwards using wrought iron rails which had originally been used for the first railway in southern Africa, the 1861 Capetown-Wellington line. <br />
<br />
From Livingstone, where it branches off the Bulawayo-Livingstone-Lusaka main line, the branch line extends about 166 km north-west to Mulobezi, later extended to Kataba (172 km). The private company had eventually created one of the longest logging railways in the world to serve its sawmill at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulobezi">Mulobezi</a>.<br />
<br />
In 1925, ZSM (Zambezi Saw Mills) railway changed its name to Zambezi Sawmills Railways (ZSR) and passengers were accepted, travelling at their own risk, perched on top of timber on flat wagons. They were exposed to lions and other wild animals, the weather and fire thrown from locomotive chimneys.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
The railway was operated using 2nd-hand locomotives purchased from Rhodesia Railways, South African Railways and Nyasaland Railways - the ZSR operated multi-coloured engines. Interestingly engines were not renumbered under the ZSR - they kept their previous numbers. Over a period of 50 years, some 30+ locomotives appeared on the ZSR roster.<br />
<br />
In 1966 two SAR Class 7 locomotives, numbers 955 and 956, as well as four <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Class_7A_4-8-0">Class 7A</a> and two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Class_7B_4-8-0">Class 7B</a> were sold to ZSR. These eight ex-SAR locomotives joined eight ex-RR Class 7 locomotives that had been acquired by ZSR between 1925 and 1956.<br />
<br />
In 1968 the government of the Republic of Zambia, through the Industrial Development Co-operation (INDECO) act acquired a 51% share of all privately owned organisations including the ZSR.<br />
<br />
In November 1971 one SAR Class 8A locomotive, number 1126, was sold to ZSR. This was the last locomotive to be purchased by this logging company. She then worked on forest mainline trains and also on specials on the Mulobezi-Livingstone line until 1973. [Originally built in 1902, by Sharp Stewart and Co. with works no 4862, after being ordered by the Imperial Military Railway, which became the CSAR (Central South African Railways), she became part of the SAR (South African Railways) in 1910.]<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
The INDECO state involvement led to the ZSR going bankrupt in February 1973, and Zambesi Sawmills Railways ceased trading. The ZSR Locomotive Repair Sheds at Livingstone were abandoned. Railway operations ceased at Mulobezi around 1972, whilst operation of the line to Livingstone was taken over by Zambia Railways in 1973.<br />

<br />
In 1976 the National Monuments Commission declared the ZSR site a National Monument, and it subsequently became a railway museum, which was opened officially on 12 June 1987 by the then Zambian President Dr. David Kenneth Kaunda.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: red;">NOTE: Curiously in 2012 the Mulobezi Train was still operational</span> - as a life line to the locals living along the old rail track - it ran once a week under a government concession - using diesel power and running at a maximum speed of 15km/h - taking 2 days to go the full distance. More details in a Times of Zambia article may be found at the bottom of this blog page.</h3>
<br />
In 2013 it was <a href="http://lusakavoice.com/2013/10/07/zambia-railways-re-acquires-mulobezi/">reported</a> that the government railways has taken back control of the line. Apparently operations came to a full halt during 2013, but ZRL (Zambian Railways Limited) plans to resume operations in the 1st quarter of 2014.<br />

<br />
Built in 1892 by Neilson and Co. for the Cape Government Railways (CGR), it is now the oldest steam locomotive still in existence in Zambia.<br />
<br />
Noteworthy is that one of ZSR's locomotives - <a href="http://steam-locomotives-south-africa.blogspot.com/2013/04/locomotion-national-railway-museum.html">ex-SAR Class 7A no 993</a> - may now be seen in excellent preserved state in the <a href="http://steam-locomotives-south-africa.blogspot.com/2013/04/locomotion-national-railway-museum.html">Locomotion - National Railway Museum, Shildon (UK)</a>. In 1974, renowned wildlife artist and conservationist David Shepherd donated a helicopter to Zambia to help the local population hunt for poachers. In return, the President of Zambia Dr Kenneth Kaunda donated the locomotive to David Shepherd. Mr Shepherd brought the locomotive back to the UK in 1975, and the engine was displayed at Whipsnade Zoo, then East Somerset Railway, and then the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum, before being transferred to the National Railway Museum.<br />

<br />
ex-SAR Class 8A no 1126 was employed at Mulobezi after logging operations had ceased and ZR had taken over the main line. She was used at Mulobezi to shunt fire wood and works trains. She returned to Livingstone in December 1975 and eventually, in June 1983, went on display at the Railway Museum at Livingstone.<br />

IMPROVED railway transport has the potential to boost the economy.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In addition to being a cheap and an affordable mode of passenger and freight transportation to most people, especially those in rural areas, improved railway infrastructure could enhance the transportation of people and goods within and outside the country.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mulobezi Railway line is one such infrastructure which has potential to promote trade and other economic activities in the country.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The railway line, which stretches for 163 kilometres from Livingstone in Southern Province to Mulobezi in Western Province, was established between 1905 to 1930, but it has not been upgraded since its inception.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Despite the poor state of the train and Mulobezi Railway Line, the train has continued to transport people, goods and livestock stretch in separate coaches and wagon.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The stations where the train stops to drop and pick passengers along the Livingstone to Mulobezi stretch include Sawmills, Simoonga, Ndrevu, Kalamba, Makunka, Manono, Ngwezi, Kanema, Manzianzena, Saala, Bombwe, Katemwa, Mulanga, Situmpa and Mulobezi.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The train moves for about two days on a journey of 163 kilometres from Livingstone in Southern Province to Mulobezi in Western Province due to its poor state and obsolete rail infrastructure.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Some people sit on the floor inside due to poor sitting facilities, while the train has no lights inside thereby making travelling in the night unsafe.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In certain areas, some rails are not seen clearly as they are buried in the soil, thereby making the train to move slowly as a way of avoiding derailments.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to Mulobezi Railway train supervisor Evaristo Muntanga, the train moves at permissible speed of 15 kilometres per hour.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Muntanga said most residents were using the train as a mode of transport, especially in the rainy season when most roads were impassable.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He explained that on each journey carrying an average of 200 passengers in coaches and some livestock in the wagons.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Muntanga said it was not correct to insinuate that people and livestock were sharing the same wagons because there were separate coaches for people and wagons for livestock within the same train.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In terms of charges, adult passengers pay K31, 000 from Livingstone to Molobezi, while children pay half of this amount on the entire journey.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Adults who wish to rest in the sleeping rooms pay K50, 000, while children pay half of this amount.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Each animal transported, usually from Mulobezi to Livingstone, is charged at the cost of K60, 000.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In 2003, the Government through Zambia Railways engaged a concessionaire Leonard Sifuba to manage the operations of the Mulobezi Railway Line.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Sifuba is the director of Larsons General Contractors Limited, a company which has been hired by Zambia Railways to operate Mulobezi Railway Line.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Speaking in an interview in Livingstone, Mr Sifuba said his company received a draft contract to run Mulobezi Railway Line from 2003 to 2012.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In 2010, Mr Sifula said his company was given another one-year contract up to 2011 and he contract expired last year although his firm was currently still running the railway line legally.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As part of its social responsibility, Mr Sifuba said the Mulobezi train was currently carrying 26, 000 litres of water weekly to supply to communities along the rail line who lacked drinking water.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Zambia Railways senior engineer Ernest Silwamba urged Government to provide adequate funds to upgrade the Mulobezi Railway infrastructure the same way funds had been provided for the Mchinji Railway Line in Eastern Province.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Silwamba said the infrastructure had collapsed as there had been no maintenance since the early 1900s when it was established.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said the population along Livingstone-Mulobezi stretch had increased, hence the need to upgrade the rail infrastructure as a way of enhancing the rate at which economic activities were being carried out.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Former Livingstone member of Parliament Lukulo Katombola said there was urgent need to upgrade the train and rail infrastructure to improve the provision of passenger and cargo transportation by Mulobezi Railway Line.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Katombola said some tourists who were recently filming the Mulobezi train couldn't believe that the train was functional.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"The poor state of the Mulobezi train creates a bad image in the tourist capital, hence the need to upgrade its infrastructure.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It is expensive to travel using Mulobezi train because people have to eat and sleep on a shorter journey which takes about two days for the passengers and goods to reach their destinations," he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Recently, Transport, Works, Supply and Communications Deputy Minister Mwenya Musenge and Southern Province Minister Obvious Mwaliteta boarded the Mulobezi Railway train on a 25 kilometre stretch to get first hand information on the matter.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
After the tour, both Mr Musenge and Mr Mwaliteta were not impressed with the state of Mulobezi Railway Line infrastructure.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Musenge said the Government would review its contract with Mulobezi Railway Line concessionaire Leonard Sifuba to improve the operations of the rail line as Mr Sifuba had allegedly failed to run it properly.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said the Government will consider taking back the ownership of the Mulobezi Railway Line to Zambia Railway because the infrastructure had currently deteriorated since Mr Sifula was contracted in 2003.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Musenga said it was sad that 48 years after Zambia attained independence, people were travelling for about two days on a 163 kilometre journey from Livingstone to Mulobezi.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said the Government was providing K368 million per year to Mulobezi Railway Line for operational costs but the money was not properly accounted for as its infrastructure had remained in poor state.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"I agree that we need more funds to upgrade the rail infrastructure but my concern is that you have failed to even do maintenance works from K68 million which Government releases every month.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You couldn't even do a kilometre stretch from the K368 million you receive every year? You come up with a proper plan to improve the infrastructure with the little funds you receive," Mr Musenge said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The deputy minister also took a swipe at Zambia Railways for not taking measures to address the poor operations of Mulobezi Railway Line.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"When you look at the wagons and coaches, they are not fit for human and livestock transportation.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Zambia Railways should become proactive and closely monitor the situation instead of sitting back. We need to change the mindset because there is an 'I don't care altitude' in Zambia Railways," he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Southern Province Minister Obvious Mwaliteta, who also accompanied Mr Musenga during the tour, blamed the previous members of Parliament (MPs) for Mulobezi and Livingstone for not addressing the problem over the years.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Mwaliteta said there was no political will among the MPs, hence the facility had remained dilapidated for years.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Apart from reviewing the contract, there is need for the Government to upgrade Mulobezi Railway Line infrastructure as a long-term measure.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Improving the state of the rail infrastracture and rehabilitating the wagons and coaches would boost economic activities of Livingstone and Mulobezi and ultimately rejuvenate Zambia's economy.<br />

<br />
From the<a href="http://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/museums/Documents/RiversidePressPack.pdf"> Riverside Museum Press Pack</a>:<br />
<br />
Glasgow’s Riverside Museum is the UK’s newest and most exciting visitor attraction.<br />
<br />
Located on the banks of the River Clyde, the world-class Riverside Museum is a marvel of design and engineering. Moored outside is the 19th-century sailing ship Glenlee, creating an iconic destination that explores our histories and embraces our future.<br />
<br />
Inside the Zaha Hadid-designed museum, visitors will be struck by the stunning displays, packed with fascinating exhibits, high-tech and hands-on interactives, and inspiring and moving stories. They’ll be able to walk down our re-created 1900s street, drive a locomotive and tackle a tenement fire. They’ll be able to meet artists and entrepreneurs, dancers and drivers, peace protesters and shipwreck survivors. With more than 3,000 objects on display, from skateboards to locomotives, paintings to prams, velocipedes to voiturettes, there is something for visitors of all ages. Entry to Riverside Museum is free.<br />
<br />
<h4>
The South African Railways locomotive 3007</h4>
<br />
The South African Railways locomotive 3007, built in Glasgow in 1944–45, is destined to become one<br />
of the highlights of the Riverside Museum. At almost four metres in height and 22.5 metres in length,<br />
it’s not just physically impressive, it’s also a magnificent testament to Glasgow’s engineering legacy<br />
and the effect its people and exports have had – and continue to have – upon the rest of the world.<br />
Locomotive 3007 was taken out of service in 1988 and lay neglected, awaiting the scrap heap for<br />
almost 20 years. Aesthetically the locomotive was in remarkably good condition when Glasgow<br />
Museums staff rescued it. Internally, however, Loco 3007 had significantly deteriorated. On its return to<br />
Glasgow, Loco 3007 underwent an extensive seven-month programme of conservation (about 7,500<br />
hours!) and research prior to its move to Riverside in late 2010.<br />
<br />
<h4>
The history of locomotive 3007</h4>
<br />
Glasgow was once home to Europe’s largest manufacturer of steam locomotives, the North British<br />
Locomotive Company. The company had three sites in the city, and it was at its Queen’s Park Works<br />
in Polmadie that locomotive 3007 was built.<br />
<br />
The class 15F locomotive was built in 1944–45 as part of an order of 60 such locomotives for<br />
South African Railways. It cost £19,600 – almost £2 million in today’s money. In April 1945, it was<br />
shipped to South Africa, where it was in service until 1988. During this time it hauled passenger and<br />
freight trains, and towards the end of its working life it was used to shunt rolling stock in railway yards.<br />
In 1987 the locomotive was involved in an accident in Bloemfontein, the provincial capital of the<br />
Free State, and the next year it was finally taken out of service. From then until autumn 2006 it sat<br />
on a siding in a Bloemfontein locomotive yard, destined for the scrapyard. Fortunately it was saved<br />
by Glasgow Museums, who bought it in a sealed bid auction from the South African government rail<br />
organisation Transnet, with the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund.<br />
<br />
Loco 3007’s long journey back to Glasgow started with a final rail journey across South Africa, from<br />
Bloemfontein to the coast at Durban, pulled by a diesel and electric locomotives. From there it was<br />
shipped to Hamburg, Germany, before being transported by another ship to Immingham, England.<br />
From Immingham it was taken by road to Glasgow, and in 2007 was displayed at George Square<br />
to help launch the Riverside Museum Appeal. FirstGroup helped fund the return operation and subsequent conservation.<br />
<br />
<h4>
A truly significant locomotive </h4>
<br />
The North British Locomotive Company built 204 15F class locomotives between 1938 and 1948. The last order, for 100 of these locomotives, was in 1947. This was the largest single type order made by South African Railways.<br />
<br />
The 15F class was a very powerful steam locomotive, vital for the heavy trains that were moved across great distances and over steep mountain ranges in South Africa. The 15F type was the backbone of South African Railways, and was the most common single type of steam locomotive in all of Africa. There were 255 15F locomotives used in South Africa alone, and many were used to pull the famous Blue Train from Johannesburg to Cape Town. Most were built by the North British Locomotive Company; the rest were made by German and other British firms.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Displaying the South African Railways locomotive 3007</h4>
<br />
Following its arrival back in Glasgow in 2007, SAR 3007 underwent considerable conservation work. Six ScotRail apprentices, working in teams of three, and over a period of 18 months, helped Glasgow Museums conservators in bringing the locomotive back to its working state. Museum curators also tracked down some of the North British Locomotive Company workers who built the locomotive. Their accounts, experiences and memories are a key part of the displays surrounding this mighty machine.<br />

With the good help of John Middleton it was confirmed that this little 0-4-0ST (Saddle Tank) engine was built in 1938 by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.G._Bagnall">W.G. Bagnall</a> Ltd of Stafford in England as their works number 2588.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The locomotive has a 12 in. cylinder diameter and 18 in. stroke design.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was first used by Stewarts & Lloyds Ltd of Vereeniging.</div>

John Middleton noted that the 1957 information refers to the works No at Bagnall when the locomotive received a new boiler. At this time the locomotive was in service of USCO (Union Steel Corporation Ltd - Vaal Works at Vereeniging.) Dating from 1912, USCO was the first steel works in South Africa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Igmar noted: There is a link between Stewarts & Lloyds and USCO: “Over two years earlier, late in 1927, the
availability of steel from Usco had drawn to Vereeniging the world wide tube
making company, Stewarts and Lloyds. The company provided a market for Usco's
steel at a time when the corporation needed support, and both Stewarts and
Lloyds and Usco were to become the primary industries which attracted ancillary
industries and finally led to the industrialisation of Vereeniging.” From Vaal

Strangely the locomotive also carries the maker plates of a completely different SAR class. How that came about is unknown. John Middleton pointed out that these Neilson Reid plates belong to class 7C 1063 which was scrapped in 1962 at East London.<br />

By 1991 the locomotive was preserved at the Council Services Depot in General Smuts Ave in Duncanville - apparently waiting positioning at the to be built Teknorama Museum.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A similar Bagnall, named SALT RIVER (Bagnall no 3056 built in 1953) was used by Escom at the Salt River (Cape Town) power station. This locomotive had a more powerful design. More info <a href="http://steam-locomotives-south-africa.blogspot.com/2009/04/cape-town-epping-pug.html">here</a>. </div>

Visitors to Locomotion: The National Railway Museum at Shildon during week commencing Monday May 14, 2012, will have the chance to get a close-up view of the cosmetic restoration of one of the vehicles on display.<br />
<br />

<br />
Cape-gauge locomotive Government Railways No. 993 (SAR 390) is positioned at the front of the museum’s Collection Building, and a team from specialist contractors Heritage Painting will be cosmetically restoring the vehicle on the gallery, giving visitors a chance to see the project progress.<br />
<br />
This wood-burning 4-8-0 locomotive was built in 1896 by Sharp Stewart for the Cape Government Railway, and operated initially throughout the Transvaal, Cape Colony and the colony of Natal in South-Eastern Africa.<br />
<br />
From 1915 to the 1960s, the locomotive saw regular work in Namibia, before being retired to shunt passenger stock in Braamfontein Yard, South Africa. Then in the late 1960s, the locomotive was sold to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulobezi_Railway">Zambesi Sawmills (also known as Mulobezi Railway)</a>, who used it as a forest shunter until 1973.<br />
<br />
In 1974, renowned wildlife artist and conservationist David Shepherd donated a helicopter to Zambia to help the local population hunt for poachers. In return, the President of Zambia Dr Kenneth Kaunda donated the locomotive to David Shepherd.<br />
<br />
Mr Shepherd brought the locomotive back to the UK in 1975, and the engine was displayed at Whipsnade Zoo, then East Somerset Railway, and then the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum, before being transferred to the National Railway Museum.<br />
<br />
The locomotive was originally painted in unlined black with scarlet buffer beams and wheel and a matt black smokebox. The team from Heritage Painting will restore the vehicle to the appropriate livery, working on the gallery at Locomotion: The National Railway Museum at Shildon from Monday May 14.<br />
<br />

This postcard shows the locomotive when it was in service with the Cape Government Railway (CGR) as their 5th Class "Karoo" engine no 905. These locomotives were known as the "Karoos", having been designed by H.M. Beatty of the CGR for hauling passenger trains on the easier grades between Beaufort West and De Aar.</div>

During their later years service with the SAR this class became familiar sights on the Strand and Stellenbosch lines - and this explains why one of these engines got plinthed at Strand station.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
"<i>In the midst of a farm outside of Rayton is a breakaway place out of the ordinary. Not only will you feel at home immediately, it will be the beginning of a trip down memory lane, especially for the older folk. <a href="http://getawaycoaches.co.za/">Getaway Coaches</a> is situated on the farm Rietfontein, about 4km from Rayton. The farm was inherited and certain buildings on the farm were originally the Van der Merwe Railway Station which was situated on the railway line from Pretoria to Machadodorp between Koedoespoort and the Rayton station. It was also en route to Lourenco Marques and the legend has it that the Kruger-millions was transported on this route and passed this station. This is also the place where the first fountain water, Seltzbach was bottled in 1890 and transported from the Van der Merwe-station to its end destination. The five coaches at Getaway Coaches were brought from Witrivier in Mpumalanga about ten years ago [year relative to not given, possibly 2013 - Piet] to the site of the original Van der Merwe-train station. What makes Getaway Coaches so unique is that you sleep in a train coach. There are three types of coaches. In the first coach the rooms have en suite-bathrooms, in the second coach there are sharing bathrooms and in the last two coaches the rooms are exactly like it is in a original train coach – with train bunks. Even the bathrooms is as it is in an original coach. Everywhere in the coaches are items that was unique to the old South African Railway-trains like “don’t throw objects out of the windows”-signs. Except for the trains that will give you a feeling of nostalgia, all over the premises are antique memorabilia. At Getaway Coaches we cater for anything from bachelor-, bachelorette- and birthday parties to get togethers, weddings or a relaxing night out. With the big lawn, open sliding windows, fires and a cash bar, all functions have a unique out of the ordinary feel to it. Throw in a lunch or dinner made specifically to your specifications and an activity or two and you have the perfect function. Getaway Coaches is about an half an hour’s drive from Pretoria.</i>" Source: <a href="http://getawaycoaches.co.za/">http://getawaycoaches.co.za/</a><br /><br />Today the name "Van der Merwe" station or halt has long disappeared on the main line between Pretoria and Maputo. Its location is now marked only by an electrical sub-station. In 1896 the NZASM had to add, for various reasons, a number of extra halts/stations to the original ones. "Van der Merwe" was added between Elandsrivier and Eersten Fabrieken because of the existence of mines in the vicinity.<div>

In April 2013 Kobus van Wyk visited the Cullinan area - I asked him to scout the nearby GetawayFarms "Van der Merwe stasie" (west of Rayton) - as it happened it was only 20km from his stay-over. Van der Merwe station farm offers accommodation for groups - it is mentioned on the web, for example: http://www.safarinow.com/go/GetawayFarms. My interest in this farm "Van der Merwe station" stems from the Class 8DW no 1219 locomotive plinthed there. I wanted to learn about its present condition.<br />

<br />
<b>Quoting from Paxton & Bourne</b>: The Cape Government Railway's (CGR) 8th class was conceived as a mixed-traffic locomotive equally suitable for goods and passenger work. They were designed by H.M. Beatty and had larger driving wheels than the 7th class. Beatty added a bogie to the front to improve the ride. The first order for the CGR consisted of 23 locomotives delivered by Neilson, Reid and Coin 1902 and 1903 and were placed in service throughout the Colony. In 1910 they became the SAR class 8.<br />
<br />
The CGR's 2nd order of the 8th class was delivered in 1903 by Neilson, Reid and Co and the North British Locomotive Co. These 38 engines differed only slightly from the original order, and were later classified as Class 8D on the SAR.<br />
<br />
Origin of Class "8DW": During A.G. Watson's term as chief mechanical engineer, many of the classes 8 - 8F were fitted with superheated boilers and either inside or outside admission piston valves. The classification of the inside admission was indicated with the suffix "W" while the outside admission engines retained their old classification.<br />
<br />
They were a fine class of engine and saw service on every system of the SAR, becoming the mainstay of motive power on many branch lines in the 1920s. They ended their days on the shunting service until 1972, when all were withdrawn.<br />

<br />
Somehow the locomotive was unplinthed again - For many years she was stored at the REEFSTEAMERS shed in Germiston. John Middleton's guide lists the locomotive as a former THF "loan" locomotive. Perhaps someone can explain how it came that REEFSTEAMERS let go of her and when and under which arrangement she got to be sent to Van der Merwe stasie? <br />

<br />
SAR Class NG/G13, was designed by Hanomag in 1927, in consultation with the SAR. This design became the standard narrow-gauge Garratt for the next 40 years.<br />
<br />
The final order of 7 locomotives, added No's NG77 to NG83 to the class. These all went into service on the Avontuur line, except NG77 & NG78 which were swapped in 1965 with a pair of NG/G11's (No's NG54 & NG55) from Natal, where in their last years NG77 and NG78 (together with NG59) were used to run the daily "LILIPUTIAN" (Also locally called the "Cabbage Express") train between Weenen and Estcourt on a 46 km line which was, due to dwindling support for the rail service, closed down on 31 August 1983.<br />

The identity of the SAR Class NG/NG78 as a display exhibit in the Berlin Technical Museum is the subject of a bit of confusion, as today the locomotive carries the road number 83, and the Hanomag works number plate no 10635.<br />
<br />
These are the wrong plates: <br />

Two locomotives were shipped from South Africa at the same time with the assistance of German lottery money: SAR nos 78 and 83 - along the way it appears, that when these were landed in Germany, their identities got mixed up from a South African point of view, however the German rail enthusiasts are sure they have the engine in the museum correctly identified, and the locomotive is listed in the museum catalog as:<br />
<br />

<br />
The Museum catalog states that it has "78 SAR", and comments that the locomotive carries the "83 SAR" engine number plate.<br />
<br />
Today (22 Oct 2015) the wikipedia entries in <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAR-Klasse_NGG_13_/_NGG_16#cite_note-6">German</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Class_NG_G13_2-6-2%2B2-6-2">English</a> are switched around about the locations in Germany for NG SAR 78 and 83. My opinion is that the German wikipedia is correct in this regard.<br />
<br />
The whereabouts in Germany of the actual NG no 83 locomotive is unsure at the moment - apparently it has a private owner (dr Muhr) after the museum in it was before let go of its collection.<br />
<br />
Let's look at the information board next to the locomotive in the Berlin Technical Museum: The museum states that the locomotive is<b> SAR NG/NG78</b> and that the <b>Hanomag worksnumber is 10630</b>.<br />
<br />

The current museum management appears unable to explain why the locomotive had been fitted with the wrong number plates. They say that they had these plates "available" and so fitted them to the locomotive. One possibility is that the plates were made back in South Africa some time after arrival of the Garratts in Germany, and were shipped incorrectly to the respective locomotive owners in Germany!!<br />
<br />
There are other clues to no's 78 and 83's past: no 78 did service in Natal, and particular in its last days on the Weenen line, where as no 83 worked on the Avontuur line. This class of locomotive got a steam exhaust pipe modification in Natal which was never done on the Avontuur line. See image below:<br />
<br />

Here the modified steam exhaust pipe gives a clue that it is likely to be a Natal locomotive - the Avontuur line loco's never had this modification.<br />
<br />

Photo credit: <i>Roger Siviter's</i> "Focus On South African STEAM" published 1981 identifies this locomotive as no 78 - photo dated 1 August 1980.<br />
<br />
From the images above and below it is possible to line up several drilled hole marks on the front end of the locomotive in the museum with no 78 which ran on the Weenen line. This is excellent proof the locomotive in the Berlin Museum is the same as one (NG Garratt No 78) pictured by in the book at Estcourt in 1980.<br />

<span class="mw-headline" id="Estcourt_.E2.80.93_Weenen"> </span><b> </b></h3>
Between 1907 and its closure on 31 Aug 1983, a narrow gauge railway connected <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weenen" title="Weenen">Weenen</a> with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estcourt" title="Estcourt">Estcourt</a>, 47 kilometres to the west, and provided an outlet for its agricultural produce and was thus locally known as the "Cabbage Express".<br />
<br />
SAR Class NG/NG78 did her last years of active service on the Weenen-Estcourt line together with NG77 and NG59. The daily train started off in the mornings from Weenen going to Estcourt - to return again in the late afternoon.<br />
<br />
In the final years the engine carried a headboard "Weenen - LILIPUTIAN - Estcourt". The little train attracted quite a bit of tourist traffic in the form of extra passengers. The locomotive driver Billy Bester become almost legendary - his locomotives were always well turned out.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, due to dwindling support for the train service, the line had to be closed on 31 August 1983 .<br />
<br />

In October 2015 Roger wrote: "Here is a picture (the one shown below) of
NGG13 78 in much happier days, with Mr Billie Bester at the controls.
The strong rumour at the time was that the Weenen - Estcourt line was Mr
Bester's "private" railway almost and what mainly caused it to close in
1983 was when he retired! A nice story that I hope was true - he
certainly made myself and my two friends very welcome. Incidentally if
you blow the picture up you will see the loco is carrying the correct
works plate - Hanomag 10630 of 1928, so a change was made at some time -
also note that the plate was unpainted in 1976 and the loco had a
bell-topped chimney whereas in Germany it has a stovepipe.<br />

<b>FLASH BACK TO THE PAST 1: T</b>he class 8DW 1219 newly plinthed at Kempton Park Stn - <b>Image taken 15.9.1973 (c) <i>George Woods</i>.</b><br />
<br />
This entry is in memory of the locomotive which was once (1973) plinthed at the Kempton Park Station. Today (2013) 40 years later it may be found in a sorry state on a farm (Van der Merwe) near Rayton. Follow the <a href="http://steam-locomotives-south-africa.blogspot.com/2013/04/rayton-getaway-farm-van-der-merwe-class.html">link</a>.<br />
<br />
Somehow the locomotive got unplinthed - For many years she was stored at the REEFSTEAMERS shed in Germiston. John Middleton's guide lists the locomotive as a former THF "loan" locomotive. Perhaps someone can explain how it came that REEFSTEAMERS let go of her and when and under which arrangement she got to be sent to <a href="http://steam-locomotives-south-africa.blogspot.com/2013/04/rayton-getaway-farm-van-der-merwe-class.html">Van der Merwe</a> farm?<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Quoting from Paxton & Bourne</b>: The Cape Government Railway's (CGR) 8th class was conceived as a mixed-traffic locomotive equally suitable for goods and passenger work. They were designed by H.M. Beatty and had larger driving wheels than the 7th class. Beatty added a bogie to the front to improve the ride. The first order for the CGR consisted of 23 locomotives delivered by Neilson, Reid and Coin 1902 and 1903 and were placed in service throughout the Colony. In 1910 they became the SAR class 8.<br />
<br />
The CGR's 2nd order of the 8th class was delivered in 1903 by Neilson, Reid and Co and the North British Locomotive Co. These 38 engines differed only slightly from the original order, and were later classified as Class 8D on the SAR.<br />
<br />
Origin of Class "8DW": During A.G. Watson's term as chief mechanical engineer, many of the classes 8 - 8F were fitted with superheated boilers and either inside or outside admission piston valves. The classification of the inside admission was indicated with the suffix "W" while the outside admission engines retained their old classification.<br />
<br />
They were a fine class of engine and saw service on every system of the SAR, becoming the mainstay of motive power on many branch lines in the 1920s. They ended their days on the shunting service until 1972, when all were withdrawn.<br />
