Remarks & Notes |
The wheat fields of the Western Cape help to make Transnet Freight Rail's Caledon branch the most profitable line in the region. Three TFR class 35 GE's are working hard as they haul the maximum of 17 loaded hoppers up the long grade from Mission to Die Vlei, against the backdrop of the Swartberg peak (1089 meters, 3573 feet) near Caledon. |
