This picture caught my eye some while ago - the colours of the livery are splendid. But I have only just learned that the locomotives are destined for Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) and not Sierra Leone. I can confirm that the three are road numbers CC 1103 / CC 1104 and CC 1201. Looking at a production roster for RRL Grindrod that I have recently received, I can also confirm that CC 1103/4 are RRL Grindrod model RL30SCC-1 and CC 1201 is RRL Grindrod model RL30SCC-3. Railpictures number 411178 shows all three of them. The roundel above the road number is the initials of their owner - CFCO - for whom they were shipped from Durban on September 30th 2012 and landed at Pointe-Noire.
