So many conflicting reports at the moment its difficult to know the truth. One even says it was hauled by an E18 electric and certainly one of the locos on its side in a picture is not an AFRO4000 unless they have been modified and repainted dark blue with yellow diagonal stripes! Another report mentions an AFRO4010 locomotive and other pictures show AFRO4001 and AFRO4008, both upright and apparently undamaged. Bad reporting on the part of many and stock photos being used! There are pictures of a badly damaged AFRO4000 on its side so one was involved. Was the train perhaps double-headed?
I now see they have been modified with the addition of black/yellow chevronned cowcatchers.

The rest of the article is a load of....the DRS 68 is much smaller and lighter by a mere 40 tons! It might even fit inside the body of an AFRO 4000. Why did they not order class 68 instead?
The AFRODual does look very similar to a class 88, which is a class 68 with pantograph.
