Railway Signals South Africa

Post by Hermann Kuhne »

Is it possible to get a site/book/document with pictures/descriptions of all railway signals in South Africa? I am very interested in everything connected with the rail and would like to have info on railway signals - specifically South African

Contact Greg Hart on this forum.

We use semaphore signals and colour lights here.

You could also have a look at http://www.railsigns.co.uk/overseas/saf ... rica1.html

There was a short discussion, referencing this site, on the FOTR forum a while back at http://www.friendsoftherail.com/phpBB2/ ... =13&t=2556

If you take a look through the "South Africa - Stations, Signals, Infrastructure and Miscellaneous" photo gallery at http://www.friendsoftherail.com/phpBB2/ ... .php?f=146 you'll find a few photos of various aspects of South African signalling.
