ES-7 short goods vehicle

Post by Gabor Kovacs »

I'm currently doing some scanning work for a friend mine, and I found this amongst his pictures, which may be of interested to some! It's an excellent reference photograph in blank & white format!

The picture is of a 2 axle short ES-7 goods’ vehicle. The picture shows a string of these brand new ES-7s' ready to be dispatched to the then SAR-SAS rail administration.
The picture was taken in 1965.
The location is either inside, or probably very close to the Dorbyl works near Boksburg.
Dorbyl, at the time constructed an assortment of goods rolling stock for the railways!

Has anybody got pictures like this one to share?
