Late afternoon now and having pretty much cleared the exchange yard of all its timber, Saiccor No.3, ex South African Railway Class 19D, No. 2767 (4-8-2), is on her way back up to the mill. Until the delivery of more timber by Transnet Freight Rail, Saiccor No. 3 will shunt loaded wagons around that are already up at the mill and take empties back down to the exchange yard for collection by TFR. Saiccor No. 3 / No. 2767 was built by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns in 1945.
Rare South African photographs (older and newer) on RailPictures.Net, where the potential to recreate them either no longer exists for any number of reasons, or the chances of another opportunity are very slim or non existent!
Ex South African Railway Class 19D locomotives No. 2697 (Saiccor No. 1 - built by Borsig in 1938), No. 2633 (Saiccor No. 2 - built by Skoda in 1938) and No. 2767 (Saiccor No. 3 - built by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns in 1945).
