Two Sheltam C30-EMP Wrecked

Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in Mocambique and Angola! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

On the [url=http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/sar-L/message/43869][color=#804000]sar-L[/color][/url], Les Bray wrote:These two locos were hauling a train, and rear-ended a stationery train which was not supposed to be there. The driver braked but, fortunately travelling slowly, still smashed into the stationery train at slow speed; both Shelltam locos derailed the front loco badly damaged, the rear one not quite so bad. These locos are still very new, and are awaiting insurance assessment. Sheltam would like to ship them back to P E for rebuilding depending on the insurance
