36-013 delivering more rocks to Simons Town

Post by allanroy »

Today 36-013 delivered another 8 wagons full of rock for the repair of the track near Simons Town. It had 10 wagons but 2 where empty. From Fish Hook it pushed from behind and a man was standing in the front wagon with a radio to speak to the driver.

Overhead cable was moved out the way so the excavator could unload the rock

I love the looks you get when you take a photo then jump in the car and get into a new postion for more photos. That look of " have I not seen you before"

They look like very uncomfortable coaches - do you mean wagons?!?

I've just done it for you, Allan. Only moderators can edit posts after a certain time period, I believe.
