This vehicle is being scrapped as it was beyond repair. Some parts are being salvaged, including some of the wood which will be used to repair the regional manager's saloon.

- Once cosy compartments are now air conditioned. Soon, they and the coach frame will be memories.

- Good progress being made on destroying an old coach. The frame will be cut for scrap but the bogies and couplers retained.

Re: Old SANRASM brake van: demolition
This past weekend, the bogies from the coach have now been shunted to the western end of western head-shunt, Hermanstad. Some tiding-up is still required to clear the site where this coach was scrapped!
