Is this between Groot Brakrivier and Glentana?

Looks like faded blue locos. They use 32's, 33's, 34's and 35's on this section.

Voorbaai had the following on shed on 2 April 2010:
35-465, 33-002, 33-006, 24-443, 34-109, 32-047.

Those are normal SAR GE Class 34 Diesels, simply "photo-shopped" Rovos green. The loco in front has a white stripe along its side which means it's actually a SAR Maroon and Yellow Diesel, the second a Spoornet Blue Diesel due to its numbers painted on the side...
