TFR TO REDUCE LOCO TYPES TO FOUR

Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) aims to replace all locomotives aged 30 years or more within four years... the present 29 different types of loco are to be reduced eventually to four...

Interesting then what do they intend to end up with?

Class 43
Class 18E
Class 35
Class 19E

The heritage movement had better start preserving some of the others quickly!

[Dylan Knott]

Unlikely - far more meat for TFR to sell the other types to industry than preserve them.
