Ex Queensland Rail / Kiwi Rail locos still staged along Maydon Wharf (2nd October 2013). Of the 24 that arrived in SA, four have been sent by road to Pretoria (the fourth left this morning). The twenty remaining will make their way to Pretoria under their own power in 4 sets of 5 locos.

Three newly refurbished RRL Grindrod Diesel Locomotives being readied for their journey to Ncala - Mozambique by sea. Ex Kiwi Rail DQ6347, now RRL 22-02 / Ex Kiwi Rail DQ6382, now RRL 22-01 / Ex SAR Class 35 (35-697), now RRL 35-07 being craned onto Transnet's Floating Crane "Indlovu Durban". The vessel collecting them for their journey to Mozambique is not equipped with a suitable crane for loading, hence the use of the floating crane. RRL Grindrod have completed the refurbishment of the two Kiwi Rail locos pretty quickly, as they only arrived in South Africa late July 2013 - Maydon Wharf (15th September 2013).
