Hi,
Is Rovos using their 5Es on trains yet?
Cheers

Yes, they are not used extensively yet but rather when TFR cannot supply traction. They have been to Kimberley but more often go to Geremiston. I believe that "caboose" working will soon start, with 4 Rovos drivers on duty to Kimberley with the 5E1s, working in shifts.

They need to park two off in Beaufort West to take over from the 7E's
