Driver's view from 3094 as she awaits the signal to enter the main lines at Pretoria, to collect a rake of coaches from a train that has just arrived

Platform 6 and the empty stock will be taken to 1 yard for further attention

The load is propelled into the 1 yard area by 3094. These rails have since been lifted and replaced by Gautrain construction. Coaching stock has changed colour and the 1 yard station shunts have gone.

The face of the past. 15F 2094 draws in alongside platform 1 at Pretoria station, whilst a commuter set waits ready to leave in the background

Class 15F number 3094, in the early days not long after she arrived at Capital Park, takes on the 1 yard station shunt. These tracks have now all been lifted and the Gautrain is based here

The carriage sidings at 1 yard Pretoria were situated on the right of the main platform 1. The site today has been taken over by the Gautrain and a whole new image has taken place for the station. This shunt no longer exists as do the rails. Early 1990's
