Hi,
Rooiwal is one of the semaphore operated stations on the Kroonstad line. While waiting for the Reefsteamers Cherry festival train to come I took some photos to document the frame and the signals. The train only arrived after dark due to TFR delays.

Re: Rooiwal Station
Hi Aiden - thank you for this, so many of our stations is gone without any records like these, please do it again when you get the chance.
