Rails and Rails and not a train in sight

[Stefan Andrzejewski]

We went to Ceres for the weekend. The road between Wellington and Tulbagh Rd runs next to the Main Railway Line. Friday midday I thought that we would have seen a couple of trains. We stopped at Gouda far 30 minutes until my wife's patients ran out . Still nothing. Gave up and took these of Gouda station and siding.All I saw was red signals in both directions.

The perfectly-maintained permanent way waiting for the invisible train.
Which is why TFR is such a hot property right now.

Hello,
the pictures brings memories back. I was there on Saturday the 31.10.09. It was an extremly hot day with +32 degrees in the sun.
I salso aw no trains on the main line there and also not in Soetendal. It was really disappointing that there no trains came.
But I could film a train in Romansrivier.

Gouda looks very clinical now. In the 50s ther was a siding to the meat packing plant and a lot more tracks. There were alsways trucks in the station except on some Satudays and Sunday mornings as the meat packing plant close for cleaning over the weekend.
