Hermanstad: New siding laid in March 2015

Post by John Ashworth »

A new siding was laid at Hermanstad in March 2015. Photos and captions by Nathan Berelowitz, 22 March 2015.
Nathan wrote:Finally got the track laying almost complete except for the buffer stop and odds and ends. Garratt has been moved on plus two coaches. Les Labuschagne, Steve Smith and I were the first crews thereover. Thanks to John Ashworth and Stuart Tait for the kind donation of funding for this project.
