Industrial action at the Rooiwal Power Station. The class 24 has brought in a load from the exchange yard at Pyramid station, into the yard at Rooiwal, and now waits for the power station's motive power to pass, before heading back to the main line once more. This operation at the power station is 24/7 and features some very interesting diesel shunters. The steam side is only here for a safari operation

The massive cooling towers of the Rooiwal Power Station dwarf the two diesel shunters used by the company. Pictured here on the departure road from their small shed

Smokestacks and steam. Industrial scene at the Rooiwal Power station, when FOTR ran an excursion train to this interesting system. In the background are two of the company's shunt diesels, near to their shed. The huge cooling towers give an unusual perspective aspect.
