Visited the section between Heidelberg and Greylingstad, the morning started off very misty but otherwise a good morning. Of interest was the pair of 43 class diesels on a load of coal containers, from research on the internet I believe these loads go to the Tutuka power station near Standerton, there is a 34 km branch from Standerton to the power station so hopefully will be able to visit in the future. Also got some 10Es at the Balfour tunnel, makes a bit of a change from the usual 18Es used on the Natal mainline.
