only look their best in black

Re: Crossing of the new - class 39
Who supplied the Class 39 (GE or EMD) and what engine do they have ?
When last did SA get a batch of new mainline diesels ?

Re: Crossing of the new - class 39
These are rebuilds of Class 34s. Only 5 done; the new 39-200 series is on the way, new-built but composed of parts sourced from everywhere...they are coming together at Koedoespoort. Our last mainline diesels were Class 37s delivered in the early eighties.
