Hi James,

Where exactly along the Kroonstad line is this yard? Looks very busy and an interesting place to visit.

Hi Aidan.

From what I remember, I think this was Viljoensdrift.

Hi Aidan

It is Viljoensdrift, there are also operational semaphores there. Reasonably safe, best for photogpraphy in the afternoon, as there are tall trees on the east side of the line. I don't think anything happens there on a weekend.

Cheers
Eugene

Hi Eugene,

Are you more likely to get traffic on the Kroonstad line on a Saturday or Sunday?

Cheers
